Jet Ski accident injured 5 Banana Boat passengers.

 

Police were called to the scene of a Jet Ski Accident which occurred on Jomtien Beach on Thursday Afternoon, resulting in 5 people sustaining injuries. The driver of the Jet Ski, a Thai Man who refused to give us his name, claimed that he panicked when he realized he was about to collide with a Banana Boat which crossed his path. Instead of reducing his speed, he hit the accelerator instead and a collision occurred. The 5 occupants of the Banana Boat sustained a variety of minor injuries and were taken to Hospital. The Thai Man assumed full responsibility for the crash and will pay for the medical care for the injured and also for the damage he caused to the Jet Ski he had rented. We would like to warn anyone who decides to rent a Jet Ski here in Pattaya to ensure that your Travel Insurance will cover you for such accidents. If you do not have such insurance then you should ensure that the Jet Ski Operator has the correct insurance to cover you.

This is why I try to swim in the ocean at the designated roped off areas. I don't like the idea of some newbie jet ski ride running over my head on accident!
