guidelines we’ll talk about before you begin your jet ski adventure. 

• What Should You Wear?
  While it may be tempting to jump on a jet ski in your swimsuit, taking a few extra safety precautions is essential:

  • Always wear a life jacket. Regardless of your swimming ability, wearing a life jacket is mandatory. Falling from a jet ski can happen easily, and wearing a life jacket significantly reduces the risk of drowning, which is the leading cause of water-related deaths.
  • When riding a jet ski when someone else is driving, make sure that you are holding on tightly. Inform the driver if your hands slip or if you are not ready to go.
  • Never start your engine without attaching the cord that is connected to the start/stop switch or your key to your life jacket or wrist. If you fall off, the machine will automatically stop.
  • Each rider should wear eye protection, a wetsuit (in colder weather), footwear and gloves.
  • Always watch for bad weather conditions.
  • Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from the pump intake.
  • Never operate a jet ski in water that’s less than 24-inches deep.
  • Know your water terrain.

Safe Driving Practices on a Jet Ski

Maintaining safe driving practices is paramount when operating a jet ski:

• Never consume alcohol before riding a jet ski. Similar to driving a car, operating a jet ski under the influence of alcohol is dangerous and illegal.
• Keep the key on a lanyard around your wrist. This ensures that if you fall from the jet ski, the key is automatically removed from the ignition switch, preventing the jet ski from continuing to operate without an operator.
• Start at a low speed and gradually accelerate. Begin with a speed below 10 MPH until you have moved a safe distance from the shoreline. When accelerating, ensure that any passengers are holding on securely to prevent them from falling off.
• Avoid excessive speeding. Jet skis typically lack brakes, making it difficult to stop quickly. Excessive speeding can lead to collisions with other watercraft or swimmers. 
• Refrain from attempting stunts. It may be tempting to perform daring tricks or wave jumping, but these maneuvers can lead to serious injuries. Leave such stunts to experienced professionals and prioritize your safety.

Remember, prioritizing safety and adhering to regulations significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents. Enjoy your jet ski experience responsibly and protect both yourself and others around you.
