Accident Prevention 6.1.9

Keep your distance from other boats to avoid blind spots and to respect boaters' space.

Keep your distance from other boats to avoid blind spots and to respect boaters' space.
Keep a safe distance from other PWCs. Because the vessels can turn so quickly and accelerate rapidly, it is even more important to leave yourself enough time and space to react to other PWC operators.
Take a look behind you before you make a turn, and please be mindful of your wake. A PWC can send a powerful stream of water from the nozzle that could distract, annoy or even harm other operators.
Be careful that your spray does not affect other boaters, swimmers or cause injury to passengers who have fallen off a PWC during a quick acceleration.
