What is what does an automatic cut off lanyard do when properly attached to a pwc operator?

When properly attached to a PWC (Personal Watercraft) operator, an automatic cut-off lanyard serves as a crucial safety device. Its primary function is to immediately stop the engine if the operator is unexpectedly thrown from the PWC.

Here's how it works:

• The lanyard has a clip that attaches to the operator, typically on their life jacket or wrist.
• The other end of the lanyard is connected to a kill switch on the PWC.
• If the operator falls off, the lanyard pulls the kill switch, cutting off the ignition and stopping the engine. This prevents the PWC from continuing to operate unmanned, potentially causing a runaway situation and endangering others.
• This is a very important safety tool that all PWC operators should use at all times.
