'Hard to fathom' rider still alive, police say​

The family of the missing man has been informed of the situation, Jongdong said. He said they are devastated, but remain hopeful he will be found.

However, Jongdong said while police are still investigating it as a missing persons case, "it would be hard to fathom finding any person alive at this point" because emergency crews have been searching for the rider since Sunday night.

The two riders had rented the Jet Ski from a local operator, Jongdong said. The details of the rental will be part of the investigation, he said.

At one time, the US Coast Guard had statistics showing that Jet Skis were the cause of more marine fatalities than any other cause in US waters. Some of the circumstances include being ejected from the Jet Ski at high speed and being struck by it. The empty craft can race away leaving the operator stunned in the water. They can also be unstable and capsize easily. Turbulence can also result in ejection. Too many fail to wear a life vest when operating these risky craft. JMO

Very sad.
