Section 1
• Monitor the tow line to ensure that it does not become
tangled, it does not become wrapped around anyone in the
boat, and it does not become wrapped around the towed
person. Also monitor the tow line so that it does not become
tangled in the propeller. Notify the boat operator if any of
these conditions are observed to avoid potential injury.
• Remind the boat operator to shut off the engine when
persons are on the swim platform or in the water near the
back of the boat.
Towed persons should:
• Wear a PFD.
• Not approach the back of the boat if the engine is running.
• Not become entangled in a tow line or wrap a tow line
around any body part.
• Know signals to communicate with the observer and boat
operator.

Additional Precautions for Towed Skier/Rider

• Wear wet suits or protective shorts when engaging in high
energy skiing/riding to prevent abrasions, hypothermia, and
injuries to orifices (rectal and vaginal) from impact with the
water surface.
• Inspect watersports equipment for wear, fraying, etc., before
use. DO NOT use if they show signs of wear or fraying.
Ropes or watersport equipment tow points may break during
use, causing you to coast into obstacles or fall with the risk of
being struck by another vessel.
• Inspect the boat tow points before use. If there is any
evidence of corrosion or other damage, do not use until it
has been inspected by your authorized boat dealer.
• NEVER attach ski/wakeboard rope to anything but approved
pylons and wakeboard towers. Make sure tow ropes are
properly attached to the boat tow points.
• The skier/rider should verbally indicate that s/he is safely
clear of the boat prior to operator starting the boat engine
or putting the boat into gear.
