Which age group is restricted from riding or being towed by a PWC without parental supervision?

The age group that is restricted from riding or being towed by a personal watercraft (PWC) without parental supervision is indeed those under 7 years old. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of younger children who may not have the ability to handle the responsibilities and risks associated with operating or being a passenger on a PWC.

Children in this age bracket may lack the physical strength and cognitive skills necessary for emergency situations, making it crucial for them to be supervised by a responsible adult. This supervision not only provides an extra layer of safety but also helps ensure that safety measures can be followed effectively.

Other age groups mentioned, such as under 10, under 12, or under 5, do not align with the specific safety regulations in most jurisdictions regarding personal watercraft. The law is designed to align with the developmental capacities of children, making parental supervision mandatory for those under 7 when participating in activities involving a PWC.
