Water Sports Responsibility Code
Water sports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of injury or death. To increase your
enjoyment of water sports and to reduce your risks, use common sense and follow these rules.
Before you start:
▪
Familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state and local laws, the risks inherent in the
sport and the proper use of the equipment.
▪
Know the waterways.
▪
Always have a person other than the watercraft driver as an observer.
▪
All Crew members and watercraft driver must agree on hand signals.
▪
Never start underway until riders and Crew member signal they are ready.
▪
Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning from engine exhaust may cause injury or death. Do not stay
around the rear of the parasail boat for prolonged time while the boat engine is running. This
may lead to excessive CO exposure which may cause injury or death. If you can smell engine
exhaust while in or around the boat, do not stay in that area for prolonged periods. An
improperly tuned engine will produce excessive exhaust. Have your engine checked and
corrected by a mechanic. Changing boat speed or direction relative to the wind can reduce
or increase boat exhaust from accumulating near the boat and Shuttle. Consult your boat
Owners Manual, or the United States Coast
Guard’s we
information on how to help protect others and yourself from the dangers of CO poisoning.
▪
Use caution and common sense.
Your equipment and your tow rope:
▪
Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check Shuttle and attachment points prior to each use.
Do not use if damaged.
▪
Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved Type III Life Vest (PFD) when on board the Shuttle.
▪
Ropes should be attached to the watercraft in an approved fashion with hardware designed
for pulling.
▪
Tow ropes stretch during use. If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back into
the watercraft or Shuttle. Warn all riders and occupants of the danger of the rope recoil.
