Vessel #1 was traveling northbound on keystone lake, near the edgewater park area. While towing a skier (victim) on an innertube, operator of vessel #1 made a sudden left turn with vessel #1 and subsequently threw the skier (victim) off the tube. The sudden and abrupt impact with the water caused the skier's (victim) left ankle to break.


Note: the area of the incident was approx. 30 plus feet deep. Subsequent sidescan sonar of the area revealed no underwater obstructions. This leads to the plausible conclusion that the skier's (victim) broken ankle was due to a high speed impact with the water upon ejection from the tube.
