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?

They were in a small aluminum boat probably less than 15’ and he was sitting on the front. a bigger boat coming down the spoil canal passed them and the wake threw him over and the prop cut him.

I run a 14’ and I never let anyone sit on my casting deck while running for this reason

Yea. Few father's days ago we pulled a guy out of big lake who was thrown from his center console.
The prop took his hand 95% off. No life jacket no kill switch and nothing to hold on to to get his very large self into our boat.
Stay safe out there y'all.

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!

Would it be recommended to tourniquet both legs and his arm in that situation? Honest question, I have no idea?

I'd rely on compression and elevation first and then if one or more is not responding to that technique, then last resort would be a tourniquet. Once a tourniquet is applied it needs to be sufficient enough to stop the flow of blood and not loosened or removed by anyone but a qualified medical personnel.

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

I found this on a quick search for a medical authority answer.
The European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines state that haemostatic dressings and tourniquets should be used when direct pressure is either not possible or ineffective.

If you use a tourniquet note the time you use it.
The medical people will ask you how long it's been applied. It's critical to know

One of my cousins was killed by a prop. He was swimming in the lake, and his wife backed the boat up his crotch.
Most of the family thinks she did it on purpose, but she was drunk and she used that to say it was an accident.
