Re: pwc lights
the reason most states outlaw night riding is a good one. On a ski the potential for disaster is greater than in a boat, I have been boating since I was about 12 years old so 42 years of being on the water I have seen a lot of crazy things, Here is something most people don't think of hypothermia,, our water almost never goes below 60 degrees now it is close to 90,, we had a couple of kids die from hypothermia a few years ago on a ski.
they were riding with life jackets in the gulf of mexico, they entangled a rope in their intake , the ski stopped they didn't know what happened and made the mistake of trying to remove the seat while sitting on the ski in deep water it tipped and they sunk it, they spent the entire night floating in the gulf hanging on to the ski till they passed out from hypothermia and died ,the water temp was in the high 60's at the time of year that this happened. most states the water never gets over 70 degrees and you can die from that temp if you are in it long enough. Then there are the obvious issues of running aground or striking objects or having a boat run you over because they didn't see you coming etc it's just a bad idea.
