Abstract
Personal motorised watercraft (often referred to as jet skis) are an enjoyable leisure activity on the nation's waterways. However, there have been several serious accidents, and licensing requirements are deficient. Inconsistent reporting of accidents has hindered investigations into the causes. We describe six recent cases and the factors that may have contributed to accidents, and suggest ways to reduce the hazards associated with the sport.
