In Florida boating is a popular pass time and activity, and it can be especially fun for families.  However, water safety when boating is extremely important to remember especially when boating with children.  Children may be injured or even killed when on a boat if an accident occurs due to the negligence of another and they do not know how to swim, and fail to wear a life jacket.  Therefore, it is essential that children are protected with life jackets, and that other boaters are careful when using there boats to avoid accidents. 

Personal water crafts also known as wave runners or jet skis are very popular among boating and water enthusiasts because they are fast, small, and easily maneuverable.  However, these same attributes can make jet skis dangerous, especially when children are on board.  Many jet skiers like to speed, weave between vessels, jumping wakes, and spin doughnuts.  However, when people operate personal water crafts in a reckless manner, it can cause accidents which may result in serious injury or even death.  Although personal water crafts are small and appear to be easy for a child to operate, they are not toys and anyone under the age of 16 should have a boating safety certificate and be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18 prior to operating such a water craft.
