In a follow-up to yesterday afternoon’s article on jet skis, I was searching for books with more information on the environmental and social impacts of the machines. I found no such books, and instead came upon the toy that you see to the right:
Yes, it’s a jet ski for kids – the Motorized Wave Rider from Banzai.
The idea is a rotten one. You’re supposed to put a child on this jet ski in a pool or swimming area at the park, and let them wreak havoc, zooming around where other kids are in the water. It’s an accident waiting to happen.
The Wave Rider is also an invitation to obnoxious behavior. Unlike jet skis for grownups, this vehicle has a water cannon coming out the front, so the rider can shoot a stream of water at other people before running them down.
If they have the opportunity to get into some water, kids ought to get some exercise by practicing swimming. The Wave Rider is like an easy chair for the pool, encouraging children to just sit when they could be using some muscle.
Even if you think that putting your child on a machine like this is a good idea, the Motorized Wave Rider doesn’t seem to be worth the $40 dollars it costs. Reviews indicate that the vehicle only works well for a child under fifty pounds, even though the specifications say that it’s for kids between the ages of 5 and 10. The durability of the machine also seems to be a weak point, as one parent writes, “The picture seemed good, but in less than 12 hours these were garbage.”
DUDE who cares if a person rides a toy jet ski in a pool…its THEIR POOL!!!!
even if they shoot sum1…who cares!!!! theyre in a pool thats the whole fun of a POOL!!!!
Don’t you know? It the impotents think it’s not right it should be illegal. What a tool.
I totally agree with your article, education and environmental citizenship should start with our habits. If we have the class AA access to give ourselves and our kids a jet ski, we should ask ourselves why not a sailing, or other more environmental friendly sport. Noise and Accident and environmental impact during life cicle doesn´t really go with having fun and having health habits. Thanks for the article!
I think the person who wrote this main article is a complete moro. What a douchebag. Get a life !!!!!

This is Awesome! I didn’t even know these existed, I think I’ll get one for 4 year old nephew he’ll love it. Thanks again!
At least its safer than four-wheelers. As an x-ray tech in a rural community hospital I have seen my share of children with broken bones and cracked skulls (‘Helmets?? We don’t need no stinkin’ helmets…”). Worst a kid can do with this is drown.
bagus dan suka gimana cara belinya dan berapa ?
The person that wrote this needs to get a LIFE!!
