Jet skis were banned from Marin County waters in 1997 because of their offensiveness, danger to the environment and danger to human beings.
A ban last month reiterated this ruling.
Jet Skis are involved in 55% of all personal water craft accidents while they make up less than10% of all American vessels.
They make up more accidents than those represented by drunk drivers.
Emergency room injuries from these vessels are 8.5 times higher than those from motorboats.
It is the vessels themselves that cause the accidents.
When the jet ski driver releases the throttle the craft cannot be steered and must coast several hundred feet to come to a stop.
Several people have been killed through this process. There is no rudder and no brakes.
The jet ski’s are a menace to the waters and endanger lives.
