Jet skis make a distinctive, high-pitched sound that, in the opinion of some, can be disturbing to nearby residents, wildlife, and other boat occupants. Recently, jet skis have become much less noisy due to technological advancements. These include:

-- Install sound-absorbing foam between the hull and the engine.

--Install a noise generator (such as a pipe) to cancel the engine noise with the sound waves it generates.

-- Install an auxiliary muffler, which sends air into the engine in a twisty curve rather than a straight line, allowing the sound to diffuse.

The handle is connected to the control cable. When the driver turns the handle, the control cable turns the steering nozzle, thereby changing the direction of the water spray. Some jet skis are designed to allow the rider to lean into turns, just like on a regular motorcycle.

There is a trigger on the handlebar that controls the throttle, allowing the driver to accelerate. However, whether for steering or acceleration, the throttle is very important. If there is no flow through the steering nozzle, it is impossible for the boat to change direction. Slowing down instinctively to avoid an accident is dangerous and can result in a complete loss of steering effort. When this happens, the boat drifts in a straight line until eventually the friction of the surrounding water brings it to a stop. The new jet skis use a computer that restarts the jet drive if the rider turns the handle all the way in one direction while letting off the gas.

Certain models of jet skis can also be reversed by using a simple shroud that is lowered over the steering nozzle. Under the action of the shield, the water flow made a 180-degree turn, flowing to the bottom of the hull instead of the rear. Since the direction of movement of the rear of the hull is always opposite to the direction of the current, the boat starts to move backwards. This feature makes it easy to get the jet ski in and out of the water, or out of tight spots. However, by design, this function is not intended to slow down or stop a boat traveling at high speed.

safe question

Before riding a jet ski, it is important to understand a few safety considerations.

First of all, it is important to remember that we are riding on a jet ski, not in a boat (there are actually no restrictions on who can ride a jet ski). If we can think again, jet skis can reach a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour without any brakes. In this case, a collision with a ship is likely to be fatal.

In traditional cruise ship accidents, the most common cause of death is drowning. To avoid drowning, we can use personal flotation devices. In jet ski accidents, the most common cause of death is bruising. Aside from helmets, there is currently no technology available to prevent physical trauma, and their reliability in jet ski accidents remains to be proven.

Jet skis are not equipped with any navigation lights, so it is especially dangerous to use at night. Additionally, water jet inlets and diverter nozzles can be dangerous due to the force of the water flow.
