Illegal operators, who typically focus less on safety, getting blamed for sharp increase in crashes, injuries
San Diego lifeguards are cracking down on illegal rentals of Jet Skis and other personal watercraft in Mission Bay to fight a sharp increase in crashes and injuries that began during the pandemic.
“We’re trying to catch people at the boat launches before they even start their embarkment,” Gartland said. The new efforts were prompted by a record 43 boat and personal watercraft crashes during summer 2020, the first summer of the COVID-19 pandemic. “People don’t know,” Gartland said. “They get on an app, they rent a vessel, they show up at a public boat launch, they get on it and they go 70 miles an hour within 2 to 3 minutes.”
