A Bullhead City city‑ordinance requirement that operators of rented personal watercraft (PWC) wear wristbands indicating they watched the city safety video and signed a consumer protection form was emphasized in the city's public-video presentation. Speaker 13 noted failing to wear the wristband, watch the video, or sign the form “may result in fines or other penalties.”

Chief Robert Treves of the Bullhead City Police Department introduced the safety video, saying thousands visit the Colorado River each summer and many accidents are avoidable by following basic boating rules. The video and chief's remarks covered specific guidance: riders must maintain at least 60 feet between watercraft when travelling above a wakeless speed, traffic on the river follows a counterclockwise pattern with the shore to your right, no‑wake zones must be respected (near marinas and launch ramps and the area south of the Community Park boat launch), and operators should attach an engine‑cutoff lanyard and ensure everyone aboard wears a properly fitted life jacket.

The video explained right‑of‑way and passing behavior, advised against dangerous maneuvers such as turning sharply to spray others or jumping wakes, and instructed operators how to right an overturned PWC safely. Chief Treves encouraged viewers to seek further instruction through online boating-safety courses.

Why it matters: the wristband and video requirement ties rental companies, operators and the city together to raise safety awareness and provide an enforcement hook. The transcript records the ordinance requirement and the police department’s safety guidance; no new changes to the ordinance were announced in the video.
