Abstract: A safety signaling apparatus for personal water craft (PWC) which increases the visibility of a personal water craft when the PWC is in a moving, stopped, or capsized position. The apparatus comprises a pendulum signaling arm (15) in pivoting connection with a mounting device. The mounting device includes a pivot bolt (28) threaded into a clamp (21). The mounting device is operative to removably attach the apparatus to a bumper of a PWC. The pendulum signaling arm includes a counterweight (26), a flotation tube (16), and a signaling device (14) such as flag, light, or siren. The signaling device works completely automatically using gravity and flotation, with the flotation tube and the pendulum counterweight to create a pendulum counterweight flotation action which maintains the signaling device in an upright position above the PWC.

Abstract: A suspension system for personal water craft. The personal water craft suspension system includes a gas-inflated bladder (10) that is adapted for placement between a hull and seat of a personal water craft. The suspension system further includes at least one telescopic connector between the seat and the hull. For the typical personal water craft, the suspension system includes a back seat telescopic latch stud (18) and a front seat telescopic U hook(40). These telescopic connectors enable the seat to move up and down with respect to the hull with the bladder sandwiched between the seat and hull. The suspension system is operative to absorb or dampen the effects of bumps and other forces acting on personal water craft when a user is seated on the personal water craft and is riding over rough water.
