Is this the latest thing?
I saw a couple of guys on JetSkis with helmets yesterday.
If they make that a law it will probably hurt the JetSki business

That way, when you fall off, the edge of the helmet will scoop the
water, stopping the head, while the torso continues at speed. Good
idea. Just as with a motorcycle, the helmet will protect the head from
abrasion. This is highly useful.

I see very few jetskis out on the mid-Bay, where I mostly boat. The ones
I do see are owned by families, who tend to behave properly and not
annoyingly. It certainly doesn't bother me if someone on a jetski jumps
my boat's wake while at a safe distance. Most of the idiotically
obnoxious jetskiers I encountered were in Florida.

Well of course! It only stands to reasoning that where the exhalted
WAFA lives and boats that jetskiers behave well, while in other places
they are "idiotically obnoxious"!

That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!  It'll make the body top heavy!  
They'll flip off the ski and end up with the head on the bottom!
