Risk of collision or running over a fallen rider

It increases fuel consumption

The correct answer is: Risk of collision or running over a fallen rider

Riding too closely behind another PWC is discouraged in order to minimize the risk of collision or running over a fallen rider. By maintaining a safe distance, you are able to react quicker to any sudden movements or changes in speed from the other PWC. Choosing options B, C, or D would not fully address the potential safety hazard of riding too closely behind another PWC. It is important to prioritize safety while operating a PWC in order to prevent accidents and injuries.
