- Kenzey Hunt was run over by a boat and sucked into the propeller while tubing in August.
- Since the terrifying ordeal, Hunt and her sister Sydney have made numerous videos documenting her recovery.
- In one video, she drew viewers a diagram of how her butt was "chopped off" by the propeller.
Hunt and her sister Sydney, who has an account with over 50,000 followers, began documenting her hospitalization in late August, several days after the injury occurred. The Utah-based sisters have since made over a dozen videos related to Hunt's recovery.
In an August 30 video that has been viewed over 2.5 million times, Hunt explained how the accident unfolded. She said she and Sydney were on a girl's trip to South Carolina with friends and decided to go tubing one day with one of her friend's boyfriend's friends, who they didn't know. When one of the girls fell off her tube, one of the men driving the boat went to pick her up.
"He made a really sharp U-turn and the rope was really slacked, and he just came, hit me, head on, and I was still laying on the tube headfirst," she recalled.
Hunt said she was sucked under the boat, got hit by the propeller, and was whipped by the rope when she came up from the water.
"It got my butt pretty good, so my butt was just kind of open," she said in the TikTok. "I felt it, and there was just blood everywhere."
She said her sister jumped in the water to help her and was "in shock" upon seeing the blood. She said the guy in the boat lifted her up and had to put her "butt back together."
The cops were called and she was quickly transported to the hospital, she said. In total, she was left with a gashing butt injury, propeller bruises going down her leg, deep cuts and fractures on her foot, and a pelvis fracture. She said she also needed an ostomy bag, or a medical device to collect waste, for six months.
