3. SAFETY MATTERS
3.10. REPORTING ACCIDENTS AND INSURANCE
Federal law requires reporting of accidents in which:
• A person dies.
• A person disappears from the motorized surf in what appears to be a situation that
could have resulted in death or serious injury.
• A person is injured and requires medical assistance beyond minor first aid.
• Damage to motorized surf and/or property that exceeds the amount stipulated by law. The
total may be lower in some jurisdictions and it is the responsibility of the owner/operator
to verify.
• The motorized surf is destroyed.
Any instance in which other vessels or persons appear in distress, motorized board operators
are required by law to oer assistance unless doing so would result in potential danger to the
motorized board operator. Good Samaritan protection is provided to anyone who oers good
faith assistance..
Even when others operate the motorized board, the owner is generally responsible for dam-
ages or injuries that may occur. Owners must not allow any Third Party to operate the JetSurf
without prior instruction in correct use and operational risks. Owners are strongly encouraged
to carry sucient liability and property insurance to provide in anticipation of potential judg-
ments in those instances. Theft and on-shore damage are additional reasons to purchase
insurance.
3.11. REFUSE AND POLLUTION
The U.S. Coast Guard* and/or relevant Authority which applies to the region where the JetSurf
is used provides detailed information regarding the disposal or refuse. In general, refuse, even
bio-degradable, should be disposed properly on-shore. If the user deduces that there are
any substances that could pollute waters leaking from the board, it should be presented to
an Authorised JETSURF Dealer for repair. Pollution laws and regulations are stringent in most
areas.
3.12. OTHER SAFETY MATTERS
Caution
Riders should:
• Be at least sixteen (16) years old or the minimum age required within the
jurisdiction in which the motorized surf is operated. The motorized surf was
designed to be operated by adults.
• Ensure the motorized surf is in top conditions before using it. Make sure to
charge the battery at least 8 (eight) hours before riding.
• Do not use the motorized surf, if the air temperature is lower than 2°C.
• Avoid operation in water that is too shallow or is brackish.
• Avoid operation of the board in too shallow water.
