Jersey Jet Ski Inc. 

In consideration of the services of Jersey Jet Ski Inc, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "JJS"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge JJS, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:

1. I acknowledge that my participation in jet skiing activities entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.

The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; passengers can be jolted, jarred, bounced, thrown about and otherwise shaken during rides; collision with fixed or movable objects, vehicles, or other watercraft; boat capsize and entrapment; accidental drowning; water craft are slippery when wet and accidents can occur getting in or out; the forces of nature including extremes of weather, lightning and rapid weather changes, exposure to sun, strong wind, cold, large waves, eddies and whirlpools, tidal conditions, surf and currents; exposure to temperature and weather extremes which could cause cold water shock, hypothermia, hyperthermia (heat related illnesses), heat exhaustion, sunburn, dehydration; exposure to potentially dangerous wild animals, insect bites, and hazardous plant life; aggressive and/or poisonous marine life; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back injuries; wrist, arm, or shoulder injuries; equipment failure and/or operator error; the negligence of other visitors, participants, or other persons who may be present; improper lifting or carrying; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity; transmissible pathogen or disease ; Traveling to and from activity locations raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents; accidents or illness can occur in remote places without medical facilities and emergency treatment or other services rendered.

Furthermore, JJS personnel have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. Additionally, I agree to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (life jacket) and wetsuit bottom (or clothing that provides equivalent protection) while participating in this activity.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless JJS from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use JJS’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of JJS.

4. Should JJS or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur lawyer's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against JJS, I agree to do so solely in the state of New Jersey and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that that state.

I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against JJS on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I also agree that this document is valid for subsequent visits and participation at JJS. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.

PROTECTIVE WETSUIT REFUSAL AGREEMENT

I, for myself and/or on behalf of my child or legal ward, have been fully warned and advised by Jersey Jet Ski Inc (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘JJS’), that we should wear a properly fitted wetsuit bottom, or clothing that provides equivalent protection, while riding or being around personal watercraft (e.g. jet skis, wave runners, etc.) in order to protect against injuries and/or death caused by water from the jet thrust nozzle being forced into the rectum or vagina. I understand that by not wearing a properly fitted wetsuit bottom, or clothing that provides equivalent protection, I will be going against manufacturers’ requirements and putting myself at an increased risk for injuries, and against the advice of JJS and numerous court cases I am refusing this critical safety precaution.

I/we the undersigned have read the foregoing statement carefully before signing and do understand its warnings.


Date: May 1, 2025 

"I have received and understand the instructions in safe boating covering the United States Coast Guard Navigation Rules, equipment requirements for Class A vessels, and operation of personal watercraft"

Personal Watercraft (PWC) Renter Orientation Checklist

Protective Clothing/Equipment for Operators and Passengers

Wear PFD and Other Protective Clothing/Equipment

  • You must wear an appropriate personal flotation device (PFD) at all times.
  • Wear a wet-suit (or wet suit bottom) while operating the PWC. Normal swimwear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into the lower body opening(s) of both male and females. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near jet thrust nozzle. 
  • Additional protective equipment (such as footwear, eyewear) may be needed.


PWC Controls

Keep Lanyard Attached

  • Securely attach engine shut-off cord (lanyard) to your wrist or PFD (as directed) and wear it at all times. Then if you fall off the PWC, the engine will stop.


Know How to Start and Stop the Engine

  • To start the engine, be sure that the lanyard is attached and push the start button.
  • To stop the engine, push the stop button. Stopping the engine will not stop the forward motion of the PWC and will result in loss of steering.


Know Operational Controls

  • The throttle controls your speed. Apply the throttle lever on the handle to accelerate and release it to slow down.
  • The handlebars move the jet thrust nozzle directing thrust in different directions to steer the PWC. Without thrust you cannot steer the PWC.


Avoid Collisions — Most PWC Injuries and Deaths Result from Collisions

Do Not Release Throttle when trying to Steer

  • You need throttle to steer.

Take Early Action to Avoid Collisions

  • Remember, PWC’s and other boats do not have brakes.


Scan Constantly

  • Scan constantly for people, objects and other boats (including PWCs).
  • Be alert for conditions that limit your visibility or block your vision of others.


Operate Defensively

  • Operate at safe speeds.
  • Keep a safe distance away from people, objects and other boats (including PWCs).
  • Do not follow directly behind PWCs or other boats.
  • Do not go near others to spray or splash them with water.
  • Avoid sharp turns and other maneuvers that make it difficult for others to avoid colliding with you or that make it difficult for others to understand where you are going.


Other Hazards

Avoid Aggressive Maneuvers

  • This is a high-performance boat—it is not a toy.
  • Ride within your limits and avoid aggressive maneuvers to reduce the risk of loss of control, ejection , and collision.
  • Sharp turns or jumping wakes or waves can increase the risk of back/spinal injury (paralysis), facial injuries, and broken legs, ankles or other bones.
  • Do not jump wakes or waves.


Do Not Apply Throttle when Anyone is at the Rear of the PWC

  • Items such as long hair, loose clothing, or PFD straps can become entangled in moving parts resulting in severe injury or drowning.


Do Not Apply Throttle when Anyone is at the Rear of the PWC

  • Do not apply the throttle when anyone is standing or swimming toward the rear of th PWC. Water and/or debris exiting jet thrust nozzle can cause serious injury.


Know How to Right the PWC in Open Water

  • If you capsize in open water, swim to the rear of the PWC and turn it upright — be sure to turn it in the proper direction. Then board it from the rear.


Other Rules and Safety Information that May Apply to Your Situation

Follow Rental Agency Rules and Boating Laws

  • Review all rental agency rules and applicable boating laws.
  • Do not overload PWC. Do not tow unless the PWC is designed and equipped for towing. Know and follow all State requirements related to towing.


Know the Waters

  • Know the area in which you will be operating and observe all navigational markers and signs.


Follow the Additional PWC Warnings and Instructions that May Apply

  • Depending on the circumstances, the Owner’s Manual and product labels may have relevant information not covered in this basic orientation.


Final Check

Ready and Able? 

  • Do you understand that you should scan constantly, operate defensively and avoid aggressive maneuvers?
  • Do you understand that PWCs do not have brakes?
  • Do you understand that you should not release the throttle when you are trying to steer away from people, objects, other boats (including PWCs)?
  • Do you have any question about the PWC or its operation?
