Important Safety Information
Ride Defensively
Watching out for other water users around
you and knowing the rules of the waterway
can help you out of trouble (
page 70 ). 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 wet suit bottom or
equivalent, footwear, gloves and eye
protection
(page 53 ).
