Safety Tips for PWC Riders

All water sport enthusiasts who spend a lot of time on PWCs should always follow the appropriate safety protocols to protect themselves and their fellow riders. Adhering to these practices can save you from serious injuries and protect you from costly damage repairs in the future.

At Tracy Motorsports in Tracy, CA we aim to uphold the wellbeing of our customers even after they’ve purchased any of our PWCs. That’s why we’ve prepared this safety checklist for all PWC riders to follow.

Know Your PWC

New riders are always encouraged to become familiar with their owner’s manual before taking your craft out on the water. Even though you may have some PWC experience, you should always be as acquainted as possible with your PWC before use. This will give you the insight needed to operate your craft without risking injury or accidents.

Wear Proper Gear

Putting on the right wetsuit, and other forms of protective equipment is another great way to reduce risks during your rides. These can come in especially handy and will absorb major impacts if you take a high-speed spill. Other tools like goggles, life vests, etc. are also necessary whenever you head out on the water.

Adhere to Size Limits

Every PWC has its own weight limits and passenger limits based on their size. It’s vital that you adhere to these limits as overloading your craft will cause maneuverability issues that can compromise your safety. Even in emergency situations, it’s best not to defy these procedures and place yourself and your passengers at risk.
