Jet Ski Accidents in South Carolina
Jet skis alone compromise more than half of boating collisions each year as well as approximately one-third of overall boating accidents. Given the speeds jet skis can reach and the rider’s relative lack of protection, South Carolina Jet Ski accidents can result in serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, soft tissue injuries, broken bones, and even death. It is typical for Jet Ski collisions to occur with other riders and immovable objects in and around the body of water.
Spending an afternoon out on the water riding a jet ski or boat is supposed to be a fun, relaxing day. Few worry about the danger a jet ski can pose to a rider, passenger or swimmer in the water. Many underestimate how powerful jet skis are, and how severely they can injure passenger. Because jet skis are smaller than boats, they are fast, easy to maneuver and relatively simple to use, making them more prone to accidents. Jet skis on the water are equivalent of motorcycles on the road.
