If a jet ski flips over, water may enter the engine or exhaust, which can cause damage if not handled properly. Most jet skis have instructions on how to right them, usually by rolling in a specific direction. After flipping it back, it's important to check for water in the engine and follow proper procedures before restarting. During your rental orientation, the crew will explain how to roll it over. It's not as hard as you might think it is. While this is rare that the jet ski flips over, it does happen during collisions or when the operator is in heavy wake areas. To avoid flipping over, stay in calm waters and keep at least 300 ft away from other vessels. Never exceed the posted weight limit. Drive responsibly and this should never happen.
