ABSTRACT:
A jet ski safety device includes a flexible tube of elongate material, which may be made of rubber. The ends of the elongate material are securely attached, by means of plates or brackets, to the surface of a jet ski, so that the material bridges across the top of the foot of the user or rider for the clearance. A spring is provided between the elongate material and the attachment bracket to maintain the elongate material out of contact with the foot of the user, thereby avoiding discomfort during normal use of the jet ski. When the rider is catapulted in the forward direction, at least one foot of the rider engages the elongate material to prevent the rider from being thrown over a handle bar or similar structure.
