Unless people start taking basic precautions and use kill cords I am sure Big Brother will impose lots of legislation on us all which we will no doubt have to pay for! I for one have no problem telling kids on Jet Skiis to use the kill cords, even if they hurl abuse at me...and I am only just in my thirties.
You can get pretty high up a beach if you gun it, I've done it on a jet rib, alot of fun!!!! BTW there was nobody on the beach, the beach was sand and I did kill the engine to stop it destroying the impellor.
Just seen it on Meridian News. It was a RIB and the news reporter showed how far up the beach it went, it was a shingle beach. the propeller also chewed up someones rucksac. At least they managed to get out of the way with their baby.
