Realistically they are not any more dangerous than any other water craft, however it is the way people operate them and an apparent lack of common courtesy that causes many of their problems (just sit and watch people on Jet Skis and study their actions, you will find it quite interesting).
Jet skis are highly maneuverable, faster than most speed boats and can provide fun and good times when used safely.
Police say one personal water craft was being driven by the nine-year-old girl and she was carrying an 11-year-old passenger.
The PWC is operated by a person or persons sitting, standing, or kneeling on it, rather than inside it, as in a conventional boat.
The PWC concept originated in the 1960s when a home inventor built a powered water ski that combined the elements of self-power, small size, and a maneuverable, active ride that are distinguishing characteristics of all personal watercraft.
The first commercial craft, a sit-down-style PWC, was introduced in the late 1960s, but the PWC did not become commercially successful until the 1970s.
