    Its scary watching people who don't know the basics of a ski
    Several years ago witnessed - helped a guy who fell off - rolled a spark, key didn't come off engine was running and he was reaching his hand into the intake grate

        Well, trying to learn (before hitting the water) and not be "that" guy...If it should roll like in the video, can it be up-turned? Would it even run at that point? Please excuse the newbie, just trying to learn.

          On the back/stern of most modern ski's, there's a sticker that indicates the direction to flip the ski.

          My understanding is if you flip it the wrong way, there's a potential for damage.

          Also, if you let it sit upside down too long, that can cause catastrophic engine damage.

          How To Right a Capsized PWC: Own a PWC long enough and you may experience the thrill of a PWC capsizing. Here's how to get your craft upright and running again.
