WATERSPORTS SAFETY CODE
Water sports are fun and challenging but involve inherent risks of injury or death. To
increase your enjoyment of the sport and to reduce your risks, use common sense and
follow these rules:
Before you start
•
Familiarize yourself with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, the risks, inherent in
the sport, and the proper use of the equipment.
•
Always ensure that the swimming area around the air dock is free of submerged logs,
rocks and sandbars. Ask about the local water conditions before use.
•
Do no use without proper anchoring.
•
Never use in poor weather conditions with excessive wind, waves or lightning.
•
Always remove personal items such as rings, watches or other sharp objects before use.
Your equipment
•
Check all equipment prior to use. Inspect your product for missing, defective or worn
parts.
•
Always check for proper inflation before each use. Temperature and environmental
changes can cause changes in tube pressure. Using the product over or under inflated
is dangerous and can cause damage to the product, voiding the warranty.
•
Always check security of the anchor and all attachments before each use.
•
Always wear a life vest (PFD) as required by the authorities in area of use.
