Response
==========
On 4-14-23 at approximately 1500 hours, I responded to the area of the Bridgewater Channel near the Dog Park in reference to a male subject who was brought into shore with an injury that occurred while riding a personal watercraft.  Upon my arrival I made contact with Subject1.  Subject1 told me that he was the passenger and was sitting on the rear of the PWC.  He said that as they were traveling on the open water in the area of the South Basin.  Subject1 told me that when he fell, he must have hit the PWC with his head. I asked him how fast he was going, and he said that he had no idea.

Deputy Observations / Actions
=============================
I observed an approximately two inch laceration to Subject1''s left upper forehead.  I photographed the injury.  I did not observe any damage on the involved PWC, which was bearing CA registration and was described as a 2022 Sea Doo Spark personal watercraft.   

Statements (Operator)
===============================================
Operator described that he was operating in the south basin of Lake Havasu, and traveling south.  He advised that he believed that he hit a wave, and turned right.  Operator described that he jumped a wave, and landed wrong.  This caused Subject1 to be ejected from the PWC.  Operator was not injured.
