On August 25, 2023, at approximately 1300 hrs, I responded in reference to a boating accident involving a run a way jet ski that jumped the dock and ended up in a fishing storage shed. V1, 09-foot 2021 Bombardier Canada Jet Ski, gray and green in color. The Operator was getting on V1 while it was running and while sitting on V1 she went to put her life jacket on, which was connected to the kill cord lanyard. The lanyard got wrapped around the throttle and the operator pulled the cord tight when she was putting on the life jacket and V1 accelerated. Causing the operator to be ejected from V1. V1 accelerated straight towards the storage shed across the marina. V1 hit the dock at a high-speed causing it to jump the dock and travel 20 feet on dry land to collide with a fishing storage shed. The dock received no damage. The jet ski had no damages past scratches. There was damages to the shed and fishing equipment located inside and also the electrical panel that was connected to the shed. I estimate the damages to be 6,000 dollars.
