Lake of the Ozarks will be full this weekend with Memorial Weekend revelers

Lake of the Ozarks will be full this weekend with Memorial Weekend revelers. Safety experts say the idea of this weekend is not to have revelers in the Lake as well. An incident Sunday afternoon serves as a cautionary tale. A man riding a personal watercraft at the lake–29-year-old Rommel Haynes of St. Louis–made a sharp turn while riding a 2021 Yamaha PWC and was thrown off the watercraft at the 26.1-marker of the main channel. Emergency personnel retrieved him from the water and took Haynes to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach to be treated for moderate injuries.
