Wow!  What a horrid experience!  I’m glad the four of you survived, and I am
astounded at the behaviour of the jet-skier.

I’m curious.  Was the fellow ticketed for a safe boating infraction, or was he
given a summons to stand against assault charges?

It would seem to me (although I am not a criminal lawyer in your jurisdiction)
that he should at least be charged with assault x 4, and given the
circumstances perhaps aggravated assault x 4 (or whatever equivalent charges
you have there).
