This summer there have been two fatal accidents involving jet skis, yet Britain still has no laws controlling their use.
One safety campaigner claims they are like motorbikes driven around a school playground. But enthusiasts say the controversial machines are safer, quieter and more popular than ever. And the sport's trade body has just launched its first nationwide safety-training scheme.
[ 2 ] We spoke to campaigners calling for them to be banned and jet skiers who say their sport is safer than horse riding.
They're noisy, overpowered and frivolous,' said one West Country marine official. 'People who ride them are, by and large, show-offs.'
'We're the victims of prejudice,' reply enthusiasts.
[3]
Two weeks later a 25-year-old nurse from Rochdale was killed when her jet ski had a head-on collision with another machine off the North Wales coast.
In recent years British holidaymakers have been kilted in jet ski accidents in Turkey, Florida and here.
[ 4 ]
Richard Tibenham, a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, says: 'People should be given tuition and then assessed for their competence and attitude before they can rent a jet ski.
But devotees claim that, considering there are now 17,000 machines in the UK, casualty figures are very low compared with sports like rugby, mountaineering and horse riding.
They are certainly becoming faster and quieter. Since their introduction about 20 years ago they have evolved from single person stand-up platforms to safer water 'bikes' seating two or three.
The main controls over jet skis at present are various restrictions imposed by individual local authorities.
Some have banned the machines, others issue licences to established operators. [5] But some take no action at all. Successive governments have been unwilling to get involved, preferring the industry to police itself.
