Operator #1 stated in effect: While traveling past my friend's jet ski, I hit a rogue wake
which caused me to lose balance aud be ejected from my jet ski. Once I got myself above water I saw
that my friends were also in the water and my friend said his leg had been
injured. I am not sure how my jet ski turned and went towards his as I was already launched into
the water. According to them, after I was thrown from my jet ski it turned 90 degrees and
continued towards them. We were able to get Injured out of the water and onto his jet ski. A stranger then
pulled up to assist us and brought him to shore where he met the ambulance.

Operator #2 stated in effect: I was going straight on my jet ski and my friend was passing by me on my
left on his jet ski. I'm not sure how he lost control, he may have hit a shallow patch but he got thrown off
of his jet ski and it slammed into mine and hit my left leg and damaged the left side of my jet ski.

Investigation revealed: PWC #1 was traveling the Barnegat Bay in the vicinity of Lavallette Boro.
Operator, O1 was traveling at an unsafe speed while attempting to come alongside his friend
who was operating PWC #2. As a result, he lost operational control of PWC #1 and was
ejected from same. After he was ejected, PWC #1 struck PWC #2 on the port side, which was
operated by O1. His left leg was struck, causing him and his passenger, to be ejected into the water. All parties were able to get back on their PWC's and made their
way safely to shore. O2 was transported to Community Medical center located in Toms River
and was treated for a laceration on his left knee which resulted in ten stiches. O1 was on scene
when I arrived and stated he was not injured and refused further medical treatment.
