SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Required Safety
Equipment
The operator and the passenger(s)
must wear an approved Personal Flota-
tion Device (PDF) that is suitable for
PWC use.
Operator and passenger(s) should
have ready access to shatterproof
glasses should riding conditions or
personal preference warrant.
Wind, water spray, bugs and speed
may cause a person's eyes to water
and create blurred vision.
As the owner of the watercraft, you
are responsible for assuring that all
required safety equipment is aboard.
You should also consider supplying ad-
ditional equipment as needed for your
safety and that of your passengers.
Check state and local regulations about
required safety equipment.
Safety equipment required by regula-
tions is mandatory. If local regulations
require additional equipment, it must
be approved by a competent authority.
Minimum requirements include the
following:
– Personal flotation devices (PFDs)
– A buoyant heaving line of 15 m
(50 ft) minimum
– A watertight flashlight or approved
flares
– Signaling device
– Sound producing devices (air horn or
whistle).
Recommended Protective Gear
The operator and passenger(s) of
PWCs must wear protective gear, in-
cluding:
– A wet suit bottom, or thick tightly
woven and snug fitting clothing that
provides equivalent protection. As
an example, thin bike shorts would
not be appropriate. Severe inter-
nal injuries can occur if water is
forced into body cavities as a re-
sult of falling in the water or be-
ing near jet thrust nozzle. Normal
swimwear does not adequately pro-
tect against forceful entry of water
into the lower male or female body
opening(s).
– Footwear, gloves, safety goggles
or glasses are also recommended.
Some type of lightweight, flexible
foot protection is recommended.
This will help reduce possible injury,
should you step on sharp underwa-
ter objects.
