A cause of action for an injury to a child arising from the negligence of a personal watercraft operator may be due to the operator’s failure to use the vessel in a reasonable and prudent manner. Operators of such vessels have a duty to exercise reasonable care, and not use reckless maneuvers that may endanger life, limb, or property. For example, a personal water craft operator should use care not to weave through congested vessel traffic, jump the wake of another vessel unreasonably or unnecessarily close to the other vessel or operate the vessel in a reckless manner. Additionally, a personal watercraft should not be operated at any time between the hours of one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. For example, if the operator of a personal watercraft and his minor passenger weaves in and out of traffic and hits a vessel, injuring his passenger seriously, he may be held liable for the child’s injuries.
