All individuals being towed behind a vessel, such as those on water skis, wakeboards, or inflatable devices, must wear an approved life jacket. This requirement is in place to ensure safety and reduce the risk of drowning in the event of a fall or accident. The life jacket must be properly fitted and meet the necessary safety standards. Always check local regulations, as requirements may vary by region.
