The skier, observer and driver should agree on hand signals. Use caution and common sense. Inspect all equipment prior to use. Check bindings, fins and flotation device prior to each use. Do not use if damaged.
Tow ropes stretch during use.
If a rope breaks or is suddenly released, it can snap back striking boat occupants or the user which could result in injury or death. Inspect rope before use. Do not use tow rope if frayed, knotted or damaged. Use proper tow rope for the activity. Ensure rope is clear from all body parts prior to starting out or during use.
