Graphic* Man hit by prop in Hopedale

Went fishing in hopedale this morning and after we got back and cleaned the fish a guy came into the marina asking for someone to call 911 as his buddy had been hit by his prop. I went over to help.
The guy had been hit 3 times by the prop once his right elbow, below the right knee and in the left calf muscle.
We ended up having to use towels to wrap the wounds and cut dock lines to hold them on.
He ended up having to get air lifted out to the hospital.

I heard and saw the fire trucks and ambulance but didn’t know what for. Hope all is well with that guy

Holy hell. Did he fall out of the boat or what?

Ouch, seems like odd locations. Any idea on the story? Looks like it won't over the top of him?

Dont care to see the pics...but how the hell you get hit by a prop?

Fell out the front while running?

The pic came through for me. Glad he's bandaged up and you can't see the actual wounds, but there's a lot of blood in the bottom of that boat for sure.

Good time to remind everyone that having a tourniquet on board in your boat or in your truck can be lifesaving and fairly cheap.

We had a guy who was work on a tiller handle motor. He was running the boat without the cover and hit something. The flywheel got him pretty bad!

wasn't very graphic...I was expecting to see the open wounds.
late 80's I Had a friend get run over on the tchefuncte river by fairview state park while water skiing by some drunk...he was heavy and bouyant and couldn't get under water fast enough or deep enough
boat prop left slices from his left thigh all the way up his back and onto the back of his head...he recovered fully except the scars and the sunken portion of his skull

My friend Carter O'Brien was at hopedale this day. Matter of fact, he took these pictures instead of helping the poor guy
