Taking Care of the Unexpected
230
If You Have a Collision
Personal safety is your first priority after any
accident. If you or anyone else has been
injured, take time to assess the severity of the
injuries. Call for emergency assistance if
needed, and head for shore. Also follow
applicable laws and regulations if another
person or vehicle is involved in the accident.
If you decide it is possible to ride safely,
carefully inspect your PWC for damage and
determine if it is safe to ride. Check the
tightness of critical nuts and bolts securing
such parts as the handlebar, throttle lever, and
jet pump steering nozzle. Also check the
operation of these parts.
No matter how much damage there is, ride
slowly and cautiously toward shore. Depending
on how severe the damage is, you may need
to be towed to shore. Sometimes, collision
damage is hidden or not immediately
apparent, so you should have your PWC
thoroughly checked by a Honda PWC dealer
as soon as possible.
