Even though the injury rates from PWC have increased by a factor of four (roughly), the numbers of PWC on the water have increased by roughly a factor of 3.5. These injuries occur to predominantly the individuals operating the PWC. You operate a PWC at your own risk knowing most likely that an injury, if it were to occur, will most likely involve you or a passenger. Very little passenger morbidity or mortality from motor boats.

If only a single life was spared over, say, a ten year period, this law would still have value to me. It is not about numbers, shore line erosion, money, wakes, noise, speed, for me but about proactively reacting to an increasingly populated lake for the safety and well being of it's users.
