Bring this report to the attention of the reviewers of adventure tourism in New Zealand the lessons learned from this accident, and in particular, ask them to consider how to deal with informing potential commercial jet boat passengers of the risks inherent with the activity.

Draft rule 'Part 82 - Commercial Jet Boat Operations' introduces a requirement that passengers be advised, before departing on any trip, of the specific risks they may experience during the trip. MNZ has also recommended to the 'Review of Risk Management and Safety in the Adventure and Outdoor Commercial Sectors in New Zealand' that a pre trip risk warning is adopted as a general safety management principle across the adventure sector. We consider these two proposals will address the intent of the recommendation.
