10 SAFETY INFORMATION

GETTING UNDERWAY

To Wear

q The operator and passenger(s) must

wear a Coast Guard approved Per-

sonal Flotation Device (PFD) that is

suitable for PWC use.

q An operator and the watercraft’s

passenger(s) should have ready ac-

cess to shatterproof glasses should

riding conditions or personal prefer-

ence warrant. Wind, water spray

and speed may cause a person’s

eyes to water and create blurred vi-

sion.

q The operator and passenger(s) of

PWCs must wear protective cloth-

ing, including:

– a wet suit bottom or thick, tightly

woven, snug fitting clothing that

provides equivalent protection.

Thin bike shorts for example

would not be appropriate. Severe

internal injuries can occur if wa-

ter is forced into body cavities as

a result of falling into water or be-

ing near jet thrust nozzle. Normal

swimwear does not adequately

protect against forceful water en-

try into the lower body open-

ing(s) of males or females.

– footwear, gloves and goggles/

glasses are also recommended.

Some type of lightweight, flexible

foot protection is recommended.

This will help reduce possible in-

jury, should you step on sharp un-

derwater objects.

– NOTE: The use of a helmet is not

recommended for recreational

riding.

q Due to the close proximity of other

racers, it is recommended that an

approved personal watercraft hel-

met be used during racing events.

Read and follow all instructions and

warnings provided with the helmet.
