I was out with my then 6 year old son on a large lake in an open cockpit rec boat. Three jet skis circled us twice in a tight pattern. A mom, dad, and teenage son. I think they were curious about us more than anything and werent being malicious. The wakes reflecting off each other ejected my son right out of the boat! As always he had a PFD on. They spun away and I collected my kid. He actually enjoyed it. Good thing kids bounce.
