## Resource

A boat nearly collided with swimmers and jet skiers in shallow water—thanks to a critical misunderstanding of how its water-jet steering system works. Expert Chris Juall, “The Qualified Captain,” breaks down the near-miss, warning that losing throttle on this type of vessel can instantly strip away control. He stresses that operator inattention and ignorance of vessel-specific handling are leading causes of boating accidents. As summer crowds head out, Juall urges captains to know their boat, manage speed, and stay vigilant—because one misstep can turn a fun day into a dangerous one.
