breaking leg in Castle Harbour jet ski crash By Daina Casling An American woman hurt in a high speed jet ski accident is still to decide if she will take legal action.

And Christine Alfano blasted the Blue Water Divers water sport operation for being "extremely underprepared''.

Miss Alfano's mother Joanna revealed the family was still deciding whether or not to sue for damages.

But she said the whole incident had been very costly and led to "a very emotional week''.

Her 22-year-old daughter, fighting back from a badly broken leg, said Blue Water Divers "didn't have anything''.

"There was no safety boat,'' she said. "Instead a diving boat who just happened to be there came over to get me.'' Miss Alfano had to have plates inserted into her shattered leg after a collision with another jet ski on June 4.

She was with six friends who rented skis from Blue Water Divers at Marriott's Castle Harbour Resort when the accident occurred. But they were only on the jet skis a few minutes before disaster struck.

The fun turned to horror when the jet ski Miss Alfano was a passenger on was involved in a collision with another jet ski driven by a Blue Water Divers' instructor at around 3.30 p.m.

Friends of Miss Alfano alleged they saw the instructor speeding towards her jet ski before crashing into the side of it.

Marriott Director of Operations David Abraham said the instructor was actually going to reprimand two other jet skiers who were driving dangerously.

But Miss Alfano, a passenger on the cruise ship Norwegian Crown , said: "We were the only ones out there. The rest of the group was closer to shore and we were not driving recklessly.

"And if she (the instructor) thought we were driving dangerously she shouldn't have approached us at such a high speed.'' Miss Alfano said she knew something had hit her jet ski when she was thrown into the water -- but claimed she had not seen the other ski driving towards her.

Then the instructor dived into the water and dragged her ashore before wrapping her leg in a sweatshirt and a belt.

"I was holding my leg together in the water,'' said Miss Alfano, from Melrose, Massachusetts.

"I knew it was broken and I kept yelling: `Does anyone here know what they are doing?' I knew they didn't.'' When they got to shore, her friends and some people on the beach put Miss Alfano on a beach chair and waited for the ambulance.

The impact had broken two bones in her leg and caused muscle damage to her knee. And she went into surgery two hours later.

"The doctor who operated said it was one of the worst fractures he'd seen in a while,'' Miss Alfano said.

Her parents flew in the next afternoon to be with her.

Miss Alfano will be taken to the airport in an ambulance today for her flight home to Boston. It is estimated that it will take her eight to ten weeks to recover.
