"Towing a Person Legally with a Vessel
Vessel operators towing a person(s) on water skis, aquaplanes, or any other devices must also obey these laws:

All persons being towed behind a vessel on water skis or any other device must wear a U. S. Coast Guard-approved Type I, II or III personal flotation device (life jacket). Ski belts are not approved personal flotation devices and are illegal."
Ski belts were accepted back in the "OLD DAYS". We have progressed just like growing up we could ride in the back of a pickup truck, ride bikes with no helmets, ride in a car with out seat belts. Rules and laws change.

As for high speed why not wear what race boat driver wear?
