Safety in Personal Watercraft Racing
'Safe To Race'
Accidents are a part of all power sports and life in general. They are unpredictable and because of this safety is a means of giving our best capable options for risk mitigation. Cesares Rule addresses the capacity to reduce accidents and to employ better risk management practices through education, training and equipment needs to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries.
Rules and regulations are employed by race sanctioning governing bodies and promoters to ensure that venues are safe for those in attendance whether spectators, teams, competitors or staff. Read your sanctioning bodies safety guidelines and recommendations. Take a safe boating course and understand the local and Federal boating rules. Educate yourself on liability issues and prepare yourself in advance. This is your responsibility as a competitor, you must come prepared to the race track and not assume that safety is in place. It begins with you and your team first.
In the Personal Watercraft (PWC) motors sports arena, there has not been prior to 2013 any organized PWC Safety Group or associate body that addresses the unique needs of various types of events. These events are not limited to closed course, obstacle, endurance, offshore, timed trials, gran prix, endures or fun events. We are overdue for review and must overhaul this inconsistent missing link in professional development. Associations have also declined to participate in facilitating accident review and evaluations. This is why Cesares Rule was created, to ensure that deaths on race tracks are evaluated with proper protocols, procedures and evaluations to remedy any future foreseeable incidents.
The first gathering of Safety Professionals was conducted in the UAE March of 2013. This workshop was organized by the UIM in conjunction with the UAE Marine Sports Federation, the Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC) and the WPPA. Mr. Bob Wartinger facilitated the workshop by inviting the world’s top safety experts from their respective areas of expertise regarding power boating. This group of Subject Matter Experts (SME) identified the risks involved in respective boating venues, concerns and concepts for the future. It was agreed that an official PWC safety guideline would be addressed for future competitive events.
The Cesares Rule 6 point platform is aimed at encouraging and educating the importance of safety in Personal Watercraft events. The Cesares Rule is for the benefit of personal safety in PWC events as well as to support associations and promoters in the importance and necessity of safe practices. To increase safety in track design, weather assessment, the proper protective equipment and apparel for staff and competitors, competitor and staff training, and safety designs in race equipment, whether required by respective country Laws or not.
