Why do jet skis flip?

According to Weller Recreation, modern jet skis are designed for stability.

However, certain factors can increase the likelihood of flipping.

Additionally, the skill level of the operator is crucial, as improper handling can lead to accidents.

While, weight distribution plays a significant role in the stability of a jet ski.

Without proper guidance, beginners are more prone to flipping their wave runners.

If a jet ski does flip, there is a risk of engine damage, especially the longer it remains submerged.

In short, the incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution when engaging in water sports.

Always seek thorough instructions before operating equipment.

Educating oneself about jet ski safety can enhance the overall experience and enjoyment on the water.
