The best way to avoid being run over by your own PWC or motorboat is to wear an ignition safety switch lanyard.

Explanation:

When the rider wears an ignition safety switch lanyard, the lanyard acts as the agent that keeps the engine of the motorboat in the on state. If in case the rider falls off the motorboat, the lanyard that the rider is wearing gets pulled with the rider and the safety switch turns off. This immediately terminates the functioning of the engine turning it off and avoids the motorboat from running over the rider.
