Yep. If my waverunner flames I am leaving and let it just become a signal flare. When I got stopped on the lake by TWRA they had to inspect the extinguisher. I told the agent that it was stupid to have one a PWC as it may encourage use and cause more problems. He strongly agreed but said it was the law. The law was written before PWC and all vehicles on the water using gas required an extinguisher and PWCs are considered a vehicle on the water.
I have the same rule on my boat. If there is a fire I grab a vest (if I am caught in the rare moment I am not wearing one) and head overboard. Some other boater will see the fire and come investigate and give me a ride. We can then sit and watch the boat burn. Let the insurance company deal with the issues. People are more important. I would never attempt to battle any fire where gasoline is involved.
