  • Publication number: 20220340244
    Abstract: Visual safety device providing a caution wristband and alert flag designed to protect a water sport participant from surrounding boat traffic. The safety device includes a rolled up banner attached to a wristband to be worn by a water sport participant. A downed water sport participant, such as a water skier, wakesurfer, wake boarder, or tuber, manually deploys and waves the alert flag while in the water to notify their boat operator of their location and increasing visibility to oncoming boaters. Once the water sport participant is in a safe position or back on a boat, the alert flag is simply wrapped back into a caution wristband.
