Operator of Vessel #1 stated: "We were all cruising, me and my buddies on the jet ski's. I hit a wave the wrong way. The way it hit, I was sideways and got thrown off. My friends assisted me and I drove my ski back to the dock".

Investigation revealed: Vl was traveling in the Barnegat Bay in the area of 13th Ave in Surf City. The operator was traveling at an unsafe speed and struck a wake at a sideways position causing him to be ejected off of the PWC and subsequently striking the shallow water. At that time, it was apparent he sustained an injury to his right hip. It was later discovered that he sustained a fracture. His friends were able to assist him back onto his jetski. Long Beach Township EMS provided first aid and he was transported to Southern Ocean Medical Center for further treatment. Vl did not sustain any visual damage.
