Watch fallen skiers. When using your boat for waterskiing or
similar activities, always keep a fallen or down skier on the
operator's side of the boat while returning to assist the skier. The
operator should always have the down skier in sight and never
back up to the skier or anyone in the water.
Report accidents. Boat operators are required by law to file a
Boating Accident Report with their state boating law enforcement
agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents.
A boating accident must be reported if 1) there is loss of life or
probable loss of life, 2) there is personal injury requiring medical
treatment beyond first aid, 3) there is damage to boats or other
property where the damage value exceeds $500.00, or 4) there
is complete loss of the boat. Seek further assistance from local
law enforcement.
