Boating Safety
Fallen skier or rider: Falling and injuries are common in skiing or riding.
• Circle a fallen skier/rider slowly to return the tow rope handle or pick up the fallen
skier/rider.
• Turn off the engine when near a fallen skier/rider.
• Always keep the fallen skier/rider in view and on the driver’s side of the watercraft.
• Display a red or orange skier-down flag to alert other vessels that a skier/rider is
down if required by the state in which you are operating.
The Warnings and practices in the Watersports Safety Code represent common
risks encountered by users. The code does not cover all instances of risk or danger.
Please use common sense and good judgment.
