Operation requirements
All riders must wear a personal flotation de-
vice (PFD) that is approved by the appro-
priate authorities and is suitable for
personal watercraft use.
Wear protective clothing. Severe internal
injuries can occur if water is forced into
body cavities as a result of falling into the
water or being near the jet thrust nozzle.
You must wear shorts with neoprene (wet-
suit material) to keep water from being
forcefully injected into the rectum or vagina
during a fall backward. Riders not wearing
neoprene shorts have received severe rec-
tal, vaginal, and internal injuries resulting in
permanent damage. Normal swimwear
does not offer adequate protection.
Eye protection is recommended to keep
wind, water, and glare from the sun out of
your eyes while you operate your water-
craft. Restraining straps for eyewear are
made which are designed to float should
your eyewear fall in the water.
Footwear and gloves are recommended.
You must decide whether to wear a helmet
while you ride for recreation. You should
know that a helmet could help protect you
