Jet Ski, as a popular water entertainment toy all over the world, began to enter everyone's weekend leisure and entertainment life.
Popular for being quick to pick up, easy to maneuver, and entertaining, jet skis can also be an instant disaster if you don't take them seriously. This article will tell you how to play jet skis safely and happily.
1. Read the operating manual carefully
Each Jet Ski has an operating manual. When you buy Jet Ski, the operating manual, key, warranty certificate, and safe driving disc are necessary items.
If you don't want to harm others, then please take a little time to read the operating manual and watch the safe driving discs carefully. You will definitely gain it.
At least you will know the basic safety navigation rules. At least you will also know that children under the age of 16 cannot drive Jet Skis alone.
2. Necessary equipment
Equipment is not to show coolness, but to ensure the safety of the driver's life.
Life jacket: This is the most important piece of equipment, and many people say that they can swim without the need for a life jacket.
But when an accident happens, especially when the Jet Ski is flying at high speed, maybe your head or torso body will hit the hull before falling into the water.
Great pain or fainting has kept you from struggling. A life jacket at least keeps you afloat, giving yourself or others a chance to rescue.
Gloves: The main function is anti-slip, to avoid the handle from being taken off under intense manipulation or high winds and waves, resulting in loss of control or the impact of the chest on the direction handle. The function of anti-slip shoes is also similar.
Goggles: Not only can effectively prevent salted waters from stinging the eyes but also prevent damage to the eyes when the water flows at high speed.
Waterproof bag: It is used to store communication tools. Jet Ski generally only operates within 5 nautical miles of the coast. If there is an accident, you can use communication tools such as mobile phones or marine walkie-talkies to call for help in time.
3. Follow safe driving rules
Speed and danger: The high-speed Jet Ski brings great pleasure, but the speed is often proportional to the danger. Especially the high-horsepower Jet Ski.
For example, the maximum horsepower of the 2017 SeaDoo RXP300 is 300 hp, and the acceleration time of 0-96 km/h is 3.8 seconds, which is not inferior to supercars.
Therefore, don't overestimate your control ability. You should gradually adapt to and familiarize yourself with your Jet Ski in a step-by-step principle, and give yourself enough time to practice from low speed to high speed.
Safe sailing: Jet Ski should not be driven at high speed at night or where the water conditions are unknown. If you encounter obstacles such as reefs or underwater piles when sailing at high speed, it may kill you.
Keep a regular look at and always pay attention to observing the water’s surface. Due to the fast speed, the water surface is undulating, and the state of the navigation waters can be seen early, and there is enough time to make a strain.
Avoid dangerous driving: In the presence of passengers, do not do any dangerous actions such as high-speed drifting through corners, tail-flicking, and jumping in the air.
At the same time, passengers should also be reminded to put their hands around their waist, to board the deck with both feet, and never to stretch their hands and feet to the surface of the water.
The high-speed water current will cause unexpected damage to you.
