- The Flyboard ® user must always be absolutely positioned to move forward and never backward to limit falls on his back.
- The Flyboard ® user must constantly control his position relative to the PWC and be even more vigilant when it rises to heights greater
than 4 meters.
- The Flyboard ® user must also continuously control the presence of any objects, reefs, buoys, etc. ....
- When falling into water, the Flyboard ® user must always check the distance between him and the watercraft which it is connected to
because the inertia can push the PWC at a speed low but likely to surprise.
- When falling into water, it is essential that the Flyboard ® user or driver of the watercraft release the accelerator as soon as possible and
turn off the engine.
- When the Flyboard ® user is underwater (fall or dip) the driver of the watercraft must immediately release the gas and turn the engine off.
- A minimum level in swimming is compulsory.
- The Flyboard ® should not be used by people phobic of water.
- When falling especially on the back, the Flyboard ® user can come down to a depth of about 2 meters, so he must anticipate an apnea
of about 10 seconds during the fall and during immersion.
- At any time the Flyboard ® user must be prepared for this eventuality, it is advisable to fall as much as possible from the front so that the
nozzles of propulsion are directed downward, which greatly helps to cushion the fall and this is not to sink under water.
- Never take a path towards the PWC as well as back to front.
