FTFA: He said the minimum safety requirement for jet skiers under the Marine Act and Regulations was a type three life jacket - which Mr Bettanin had - and a waterproof buoyant torch.
Wouldn't a flashlight be more useful?

Would have been rescued faster if he has a flag to wave at them.

Awesome story. I'm glad this guy made it back okay.
Also, I hope they don't charge him over a stupid torch.

So was he naked except for the shorts on his head?

What a fool. He would have got everyone's attention if he had just split his pants.

So he was using a jetski ALONE, off the coast (not a lake or recreation area?),and apparently outside of a well traveled area without a small PLB, or Marine VHF radio? Double dumbass on him.
Spend the $175 and get one of
these
so you can call for help. if 6W isn't enough, you're too far away to be on a jet ski by yourself.

What a fool. He would have got everyone's attention if he had just split his pants.
When I ripped (rip) my pants,
I thought that I had everybody on my side,
But I went and blew it all sky-high.
And now she won't even spare a passing glance
All just because I (rip) ripped my pants.
When big Larry came 'round just to put him down,
Spongebob turned into a clown,
And no girl ever wants to dance
With a fool who went and (rip) ripped his pants.
I know I shouldn't mope around, I shouldn't curse,
But the pain feels so much worse.
'Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less fun
Than a burn from the sun or sand in your buns.
Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget,
So listen and you won't regret,
Be true to yourself, don't miss your chance,
And you won't end up like the fool who ripped his pants. (rip)

Zero Punctuation? Love that guy. One of the few not-paid-off-by-big-gaming reviewers.
