B. Water Skiing/Wakeboarding/Kneeboarding
4. Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. Be care-
ful not to swamp the boat while taking the skier on
board.
The popular sport of water skiing has brought a
special set of safety precautions to observe in boating.
The following guides help prevent accidents while
water skiing.
5. Always participate in water sports in safe areas.
Stay away from other boats, beaches, swimmers,
and heavily traveled waterways.
1.
Water ski only in safe areas, away from other
boats and swimmers, out of channels, and in
water free of underwater obstructions.
6. Be considerate of others with whom you share
the water.
2.
Allow no one who can not swim to water ski.
Skiers must wear a USCG approved floatation
device. A Type III water-ski vest is an approved
and practical PFD.
7. Give immediate attention to a person who has
fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the water alone
and may not be seen by other boaters.
3.
Have a second person aboard to observe the
skier and inform the driver about the skier’s hand
signals (Figure B17). The driver must give full
attention to operating the boat and the waters
ahead.
