It is a shame. I blame a lot of it on the way they are advertised and
promoted, but where are the parents in all this? It's one thing for
25 year olds to run around in circles like a bunch of mindless bozos,
but 14 and 15 year olds?

This goes against every fiber of my body, since I am a firm believer
in people being responsible for their actions, but perhaps one
solution is to introduce some sort of safty device on these PWC. Some
kind of govenor or speed restricter...

Not perfect, but probably a start...
