HISON WATERCRAFT
12
When deciding whether to wear a helmet on water, consider factors such as the riding
environment, the traffic and water conditions, the riding ability and the type of riding you
plan to do.
3. The rider should also have ready access to shatterproof glasses. Wind, water spray and speed
may cause a person’s eyes to water and create blurred vision. Eye wear helps protect eyes
from debris or other objects, wind, or water spray that might injure the eyes or impede
vision, potentially resulting in an accident.
Recommended protective gear
When using the Crosski, the following protective gear is also recommended in addition to
the required safety equipment.
On water:
Wear a wet suit bottom, or thick tightly woven and snug fitting clothing that provides
equivalent protection, such as sturdy jeans or thick off-road motorsport pants. Severe
internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of fallying into
water or being near the het thrust nozzle. Normal swim wear and other thin fabrics do not
adequately protect against forceful water entry into rectum or vagina.
Footwear, gloves, and goggles or shatterproof glasses are also recommended. Wind, water
spray and speed may cause a person’s eyes to water and create blurred vision.
On land:
Eye protection, if not using a full face helmet. Riding without eye protection can result in an
accident and increases your chances of a severe injury in the event of an accident.
Gloves to protect your hands.
Motorcycle boots to protect your feet and lower legs.
Full length pants.
A long sleeved shirt or jacket.
Protective clothing can reduce your risk of injury in an accident and provide protection from
the elements, debris or contact with objects such as branches.
Required safety equipment
In addition to your personal protective equipment (e.g. PFD), you must carry some specific
safety equipment when riding on water.
As the owner of the Crosski, you are responsible for assuring that all required safety
equipment is aboard. Check state and local regulations about required safety equipment.
Minimum requirements for use on water include the additional following equipment:
A sound producing device (e.g. a whistle or air horn)
A fire extinguisher – available from your Hison dealer.
Additional recommended safety equipment
It is recommended that you consider carrying additional equipment for safe, enjoyable use
of your Crosski. This list, which is not all inclusive, includes items you should consider acquiring.
