Collisions result in more INJURIES AND DEATHS than any other type of accident for personal watercraft (PWC). TO AVOID COLLISIONS: SCAN CONSTANTLY for people, objects, and other watercraft. Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others. OPERATE DEFENSIVELY at safe speeds and keep a safe distance away from people, objects, and other watercraft. • Do not follow directly behind PWCs or other boats. • Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water. •Avoid sharp turns or other maneuvers that make it hard for others to avoid you or understand where you are going. • Avoid areas with submerged objects or shallow water. TAKE EARLY ACTION to avoid collisions. Remember, PWCs and other boats do not have brakes. DO NOT RELEASE THROTTLE WHEN TRYING TO STEER away from objects - you need throttle to steer. Always check throttle and steering controls for proper operation before starting PWC. Follow navigation rules and state and local lows that apply to PWCs.
