The operator is responsible to inform
and protect the passenger (s) invited
to ride.
Instruct all passenger (s) to use the
handholds, seat strap, or to hold on to
the waist of the person in front of
them. Each passenger must be able
to simultaneously place both feet
firmly flat against each footwell when
properly seated.
Be sure riders are properly seated
and holding on. Riders can be thrown
off PWC during unexpected accelera-
tion or aggressive operation. Avoid
aggressive operation, sharp turns,
and unexpected acceleration.
Falls can result in severe injury or
death.
All riders must wear shorts with neo-
prene (wet suit material) to keep water
from being forcefully injected into rec-
tum or vagina during a fall backward.
Riders not wearing neoprene shorts
have received severe rectal, vaginal,
and internal injuries resulting in per-
manent damage.
When going over waves, riders (s)
may raise their body slightly off the
seat to absorb the shocks with their
legs.
When braking or decelerating, riders
must brace themselves against the
deceleration force to prevent from
moving forward on the watercraft and
losing balance.
Riding with passenger (s) makes the
PWC handle differently and requires
greater skill.
A Avvo oiid diin ng g C Co olllliissiio on nss
Scan constantly for people, objects
and other watercraft.
Stay far enough away from others so
you can always safely coast to a stop.
Do not release throttle when trying to
steer away from objects – as with oth-
er powerboats, you need throttle to
steer.
Be alert for conditions that may limit
your visibility or block your vision of
others.
Do not go near others to spray or
splash them with water, go too close
to other boats, or go too fast for traffic
conditions. You may misjudge the
ability of the watercraft or your own
riding skills and strike a boat or
person.
If your watercraft is equipped with a
braking system, be aware that other
boats following or operating in close
proximity may not be able to stop as
quickly.
Stopping distance will vary depending
on initial speed, load, wind and water
conditions. The amount of braking
power commanded by the operator
using the iBR lever will also affect
stopping distance.
Although the preferable manoeuvre to
avoid an obstacle is to steer away
while applying throttle, the iBR can al-
so be used by fully braking and turning
in the direction to avoid the obstacle.
R Riid diin ng g B Be eh ha avviio orrss
Ride within your limits and level of rid-
ing ability.
Scan constantly for people, objects
and other watercraft. Stay far enough
away from others so you can always
safely coast to a stop.
Avoid aggressive operation, sharp
turns, and unexpected acceleration
that can cause riders to be thrown off.
Avoid riding in very rough waters or
practicing extreme manoeuvres like
jumping wakes or waves - jumping
can cause injuries such as back or
spinal injuries (paralysis).
