I think you are more right than you know.
Locally, we had two crossing over/jumping a boat's wake (already illegal)
and smashing into one another. Both had to be pulled out and sent to the
hosp.

Like anything from gun control to the DEA, a case can be made that it is
the behavior and enforcement of existing rules rather than an outright ban
that can make something safe, but anyone who has been on a PWC knows
exactly what they are for and/or capable of.So...does fun=recklesness?
