Operator #1 stated via email: Was operating the vehicle normally hit the throttle a little hard and as my course was clear to hit him I tried redirecting it but failed to gain control of the ski before the hit happened. After, both he and I flew off. I went to check if he was okay. He said he was okay and startled and mentioned his jaw seemed off but overall his statement said he was fine.

Operator #2 stated vial email: I took a picture from Google Maps and attempted to draw what happened. The red square represents the area within the buoys they have the riders drive around in a counter clockwise direction. Op2 is represented by the blue arrow and he believes he was traveling in the direction depicted on the picture. Op2 heard someone yelling from behind him. He looked back and to the left to see what the commotion was and that is when the other driver hit the back of his Jet Ski and he was thrown from his Jet Ski into the water."  It should be noted that the above statement was provided by Operator #2 's father due to Operator #2 being a juvenile.
