Dramatic footage has emerged showing the terrifying moment an out-of-control jet ski came dangerously close to plowing into unsuspecting beachgoers. The heart-stopping incident occurred on a popular British beach, sending sunbathers scrambling for safety.
Close Call Caught on Camera
The video captures the jet ski veering wildly towards shore at alarming speed, its operator apparently struggling to maintain control. Screams can be heard as beach visitors suddenly realize the imminent danger and rush to move out of harm's way.
Safety Concerns Raised
Maritime safety experts are calling for stricter enforcement of watercraft regulations near crowded beaches. "This could have ended in absolute tragedy," said one local official. "We need clearer boundaries between swimming areas and motorized water vehicles."
Witnesses described chaotic scenes as the jet ski finally came to a stop just meters from where families were enjoying their day. "It was like something from a nightmare," one shaken holidaymaker told reporters. "One second we're building sandcastles, the next we're running for our lives."
Operator Under Investigation
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, with the jet ski operator facing potential charges for reckless operation of a watercraft. Local police are reviewing the footage as part of their enquiries.
The near-miss has reignited debates about water safety during peak summer months, with calls for mandatory training for all personal watercraft users and better signage at popular beaches.
