Personal Watercraft Insurance, Overboard Rescue Procedures
Rescue procedures for someone who falls overboard: Tow the victim back to the boat slowly. Do not jump in to rescue a conscious victim: if the person panics it can be dangerous. The only way to attempt a rescue is if the rescuer wears a life jacket and is firmly connected to the boat by a lifeline. If the victim cannot climb a swim ladder, have two people pull the person up back into the boat.
