Life jacket while jet skiing?

Question

Can wearing a life jacket while jet skiing really save your life if you are not really a good swimmer? and do a person need to take lessons before going jet skiing?

Answer 1

Yes, a life jacket can save your life if you fall off the jet ski. It won't hold you up forever, and yes you should know how to swim before going out on the water.  The water is deep, and accidents do happen.

I would take lessons on how to safely operate the jet ski, also. It could save your life.

Answer 2

Well I dont think you really need to take lessons but it could be beneficial. And Yes! wearing a life jacket can safe your life because if you lose control and get plunged into the water, the impact can be quite severe and if you are not a good swimmer that just makes the situation even worse, but as long as you have a life jacket and a good driver ready to help you if needed, you should be all right.

Answer 3

A life jacket is required while driving or riding a jet ski. Yes it can save your life. It will keep you afloat. Try practicing swimming in a life jacket. A special life jacket is required, one that will take high speed and impact. It should fit you well. Swim lessons are always a good thing.

Answer 4

yes it can save your life because if you fall off of the jet ski well going fast and you don't know how to swim you will drown. but since a life jacket keeps you a float you will be fine until someone gets you out of the water. you dont really need swimming lessons just try not to fall off and make sure you wear a life jacket because it will save your life.

Answer 5

yes it can save your life good swimmer or not. yes you need to lessons....:-)
