A tragic incident occurred as a Russian woman, Elena Spiryakova, aged 49, lost her life due to a "genital rupture" sustained during a high-speed jet ski accident. Authorities have reported that the incident took place while she was on the Samara River in July with her husband, Oleg, 52.
Elena Spiryakova, a resident of Samara near Russia's border with Kazakhstan, was enjoying a day on the Samara River with her husband, Oleg, 52. Tragically, the day took a devastating turn when she fell into the water after her husband accelerated the high-speed jet ski they were on.

“After another turn, the woman could not stay on the jet ski and fell into the water, and at that moment her husband ‘hit the gas,’” reported investigators.

What exactly happened?
She suffered a significant "hydraulic injury" as a result of the unfortunate incident. The severity of the injury was revealed through the impact she experienced during the fall.
A "water hammer" effect, triggered by the sudden change in direction or abrupt stoppage of a fluid in motion, was responsible for the genital rupture that Elena Spiryakova endured.
