Wearing the engine cutoff lanyard, or “kill switch,” is indeed crucial for personal watercraft (PWC) operators. This device automatically shuts off the engine if the operator falls off, preventing the jet ski from becoming unmanned and potentially causing accidents or collisions. It’s not only a safety measure but also a legal requirement in many areas to ensure the safety of the rider and those nearby. Always remember to attach the lanyard securely before riding!
