The owner/operator, stated he and Occupant1 were drifting just off the Arizona Shoreline near RM 44 on Lake Mohave when Occupant1 asked for his photo to be taken by Operator. Operator states that as he stood up from the console to take Occupant1'' photo, he bumped the throttle which caused the boat to lurch forward knocking him onto his back. 

Operator was not wearing the kill switch lanyard, which then caused the boat to accelerate towards a rock outcropping along the Arizona Shoreline. 

Operator was not able to regain control of the boat before it struck the rock outcropping, and continuing it''s forward momentum before coming to rest beached on top of the outcropping. Extensive damage to the starboard pontoon was noted. Due to the position of the boat, further field inspection was not possible. 

Operator stated he hit his knee during the fall, but denied any medical treatment.
