It may be a bad rap, but I think it's entertaining to watch.
1) Just how far can a Jet-Ski throw its passengers?
2) Just how far can a Jet-Ski throw its "driver"?
3) How often
in one hour can a Jet-Ski throw its "driver" off?
4) Can a 4-seater Jet-Ski throw
any of its passengers off? (Hasn't happened yet off my shore).
As pop-singer Gloria Estefan found out, it was the Jet-Ski's
inability to manuver that gave such craft its awful—and too-often-fatal—"rep".
Jet-skis have poor control at low speeds, only increasing control as speed increases.
Even better than those who own and "drive" them, I think I can speak to what I've seen better than most. I have a lakefront view of Jet-Skis 12 months a year (here and in Florida).
Like intentionally "stuffing" a Jet-Ski nose-first, maybe search YouTube for various Jet-Ski stunts?
