Important Safety Information
Ride Defensively
Watching out for other water users around
you and knowing the rules of the waterway
can help keep you out of trouble (
page 106 ).
Keep a safe distance away from people,
objects, and other watercraft. Remember that
if you are on a collision course, it’s your
responsibility to avoid the collision. For other
riding tips, see the
Personal Watercraft
Rider’s Handbook that came with your PWC.
Wear a PFD and Protective Clothing
When you ride your PWC, you must wear a
Coast Guard-approved Type I , II or III PFD
(personal flotation device). It’s the law in all
states, and it could save your life. In addition,
you should wear appropriate protective
clothing, including a wetsuit bottom or
equivalent, footwear, gloves and eye
protection (
page 88 ).
