GETTING UNDERWAY
To Wear
The operator and passenger(s) must
wear a Coast Guard approved Per-
sonal Flotation Device (PFD) that is
suitable for PWC use.
An operator and the watercraft’s pas-
senger(s) should have ready access
to shatterproof glasses should riding
conditions or personal preference war-
rant. Wind, water spray and speed
may cause a person’s eyes to water
and create blurred vision.
The operator and passenger(s) of
PWCs must wear protective clothing,
including:
– a wet suit bottom or thick, tightly
woven, snug fitting clothing that
provides
equivalent
protection.
Thin bike shorts for example would
not be appropriate. Severe internal
injuries can occur if water is forced
into body cavities as a result of
falling into water or being near jet
thrust nozzle. Normal swimwear
does not adequately protect against
forceful water entry into the lower
body opening(s) of males or fe-
males.
– footwear,
gloves
and
gog-
gles/glasses
are
also
recom-
mended.
Some
type
of
light-
weight,
flexible foot protection
is recommended.
This will help
reduce possible injury, should you
step on sharp underwater objects.
NOTE:
The use of a helmet is not
recommended for recreational riding.
Due to the close proximity of other
racers, it is recommended that an ap-
proved personal watercraft helmet be
used during racing events. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings
provided with the helmet.
