This page introduces things to keep in mind while on a WaveRunner.
When you avoid an obstacle in your way by turning the handlebars, you must not release the throttle. The water vehicle turns by propulsion thrust, so if you release the throttle, the craft does not change direction and you may actually keep moving straight forward and drift into the obstacle you're trying to avoid. In such cases, give the WaveRunner enough gas to allow you to quickly change direction and steer away from the obstacle.
If your WaveRunner flips over, make sure that the engine has stopped and then move around to the back of the WaveRunner.
The engine carburetor is located on the right side of the WaveRunner, so when turning the WaveRunner upright, always rotate it in the clockwise direction, as seen from the back of the WaveRunner.
To get back onto the WaveRunner, place both hands on the foot well floor, pull yourself up, and then place both knees on the floor. Do your best to maintain your balance while pulling yourself onto the WaveRunner.
Beyond pump damage, another concern of running a jet ski in shallow water is that small debris and sand can clog the cooling systems. here
Don’t forget that you must only reboard the jet ski when the water is at least waist-deep (3 feet deep). [links]
Before you turn on the engine, it’s recommended that you flush the pump manually. This way, you can remove sand and debris from the pump, or at least most of it.
Best practice is to move the jet ski in at least in waist-deep water. Then, place one of your feet on the reboarding step and push the jet ski towards open waters with the help of your other foot.
As a final step, climb up to the saddle and fire up the engine. Using this trick, you can be sure that you won’t run your jet ski water that’s too shallow.
Understand that throttle is required to make a turn. Rather than a rudder, personal watercraft use directed thrust produced by the jet pump to steer. If you stop that thrust by releasing the throttle or stopping the engine, the driver will lose directional control over the craft. Because releasing the throttle and turning the handlebars fully to one side is a common reaction in a collision-avoidance situation, manufacturers long ago addressed this scenario by having craft automatically apply a small amount of thrust should the driver perform those actions. That minimal amount of thrust is enough to initiate a turn in the direction the driver intended and possibly avoid an obstacle, but manual throttle input is essential for true directional control. here
Finally, never operate a personal watercraft at night. Not only are personal watercraft not equipped with navigation lights, their unique design exposes riders to a greater chance of falling off the craft, a situation that could be dangerous in low visibility. [links]

Here’s how to have a fun—and safe—PWC experience.
Personal watercrafts (PWCs), also commonly referred to as their brand names like Jet Ski, WaveRunner or Sea-Doo, have evolved from unique, niche vehicles to one of the most popular categories of boats currently on the water. But while the fun factor is high, and cost and hassles comparatively low, PWC should never be dismissed as a big kid’s toy. Their unique design, propulsion, and maneuverability demand that operators both understand and respect the craft’s abilities.
