Solent Coastguard Urge Caution: Island Pulse Intro:

Solent Coastguard are repeating warnings about the potential dangers of high powered water craft such as jet skis and jet boats after several people were injured in a collision yesterday.

An incident yesterday lunch time saw a jet boat collide with a jet ski, and propel it through the windshield of an anchored speed boat.  The driver of the jet ski has an injured arm requiring stitches, further injuries were sustained by two people on the speed boat.

Solent Coastguard continues to warn all users of personal water craft and speed boats that due to the high speeds capable by these craft, accidents can and do happen very quickly if driven carelessly.   Users must keep a sharp look out for other people on the water or swimmers and be sympathetic to other water users.
