Water sports are one of the best ways to make the most out of your experience at sea. It can be difficult to choose which ones to participate in, especially when you’re short on time. Wave runners are considered to be one of the most exciting of water sports and are ideal for those adventurous at heart.
In order for you to get the most out of your experience, it’s important for you to know the essential safety guidelines beforehand and understand how wave runners actually work. You should also choose a competent company and ensure they have all the required safety equipment.
Here are some things to keep in mind on a wave runner:
Avoid the obstacles
If you’re on a wave runner and you’re trying to dodge an obstacle in your way, you need to make sure you don’t release the throttle and hold on to the handlebars.
This is because wave runners turn by forced thrusts, so letting go of the throttle in the water vehicle will only make you run straight into the obstacle in front of you! This can not only be compromising on your safety, but can incur injuries as well.
You need to allow the wave runner to generate enough gas to change direction instantly.
In times of emergency
In the event of your wave runner flipping over, you need to ensure its engine has come to a halt.
Note that the engine carburetor on the wave runner is on its right side. Therefore, when attempting to turn over the wave runner, make sure you rotate it clockwise carefully.
When placing yourself back in the wave runner, try your best to keep your balance or you can end up falling in the water again!
Don’t forget your life jacket
Even if you’ve ridden a wave runner countless times in the past and think you’re a pro, don’t ever forget to wear your lifejacket.
You need to be prepared for all kinds of emergencies and prioritize your life and safety above all else. Many competent swimmers undermine the need for wearing life jackets, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Before starting the engine of your wave runner, make sure you’re wearing a life jacket!
Past research found that out of the 76 percent of people who lost their lives at sea due to drowning, nearly 85 percent were not found to be wearing lifejackets.
