Bigins's Journal

From the police. Being total smart asses with me making snyde remark one after another when it wasn't at all my fault. They just hate me that much. Luckily it was a Hennepin County water patrol situation since it happened on water in Hennepin County.

I was out on the lake and this younger brother of someone that lives on the lake was riding his high powered jet ski(wave runner) along with 2 friends on other wave runners. At one end of the lake we were stopped in the water and he asked me how to work some things on his jet ski. He asked what the "up and down" adjustment was for. And I told him it was the trim. Put it in the down position when it's wavey, and up when you're planing on calmer water.

We were running down the lake and as I jumped a wave going forward, he cut across, jumped off his jet ski and the jet ski was like a missile hitting me and my jet ski on the right side. My jet ski is totaled, and his(brothers) is fine.He slammed into my leg at 40mph and I was in emergency until 1:30am. I was in shock and started sweating purfusily. After taking off everything but my underwear, I threw up. I now have this huge contusion on the back of my right side leg, and down on the calf. I'm in so much pain it's killing me.They gave me percocets for pain.

The thing that bothers me about the accident is the fact that he was on such a powerful jet ski when he had no business being on one at all. The biggest problem people have that are new to riding jet skis is the fact that you MUST have power(trottle) in order to steer. It's not like wheels. So if you're going fast in one direction and let off the gas, you have no steering. You still move forward at a high rate of speed depending. But without power, steering doesn't work.

Other than that, I have been in conversations with a few people helping me with my situation.

Take care!
