Three Safety Tips for Jet Skiers



A numismatic expert and president of Youngblood Metals Mining, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood handles wholesale coin collectible inventory on a daily basis. In his spare time, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood jet-skiing with his family.

Navigating the waters on a jet ski can be a thrilling experience. When out on the water, take the following precautions to keep everyone safe.

-Make sure everyone remains seated. Riding with a passenger adds additional weight, thus making a jet ski less stable. To avoid capsizing, you and your passenger should avoid making sudden movements. In addition, instruct the passenger to move in tandem with you when turning into corners.

-Reduce forward momentum when docking. To decelerate after a ride, lower your jet ski’s speed to idle. This allows you to slowly approach the dock and safely secure your vessel. However, some scenarios require more preparation to reduce forward momentum and the likelihood of a collision. In these cases, plan to make a hard 360-degree turn at least 20 feet from your dock before putting your equipment in idle.

-Look back. When in motion, it takes little time to turn, which makes it imperative for you to be mindful of your surroundings. Before turning, always look behind you to see if there are other boats and jet skis around you. Complete your turn when you are certain it is clear.

Most Common Hazards of Early Snowboarding Seasons

Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood is the owner and president of Youngblood Metals Mining. When he is not working, Kota Saint Jovite Youngblood enjoys snowboarding with his children. Early in the season , snowboarders are susceptible to different obstacles in the freshly fallen snow, including unseen branches, tree stumps, or rocks.

Jutting objects can damage equipment and cause bodily injuries, especially on ungroomed areas such as outskirts of official snowboarding slopes that have not been cleared by resorts or landowners.
