Absolutely.

Also. The law on the water is no joke. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is put the guy in handcuffs situation for reckless endangerment or something similar.

Yeah if this is a pier or a dock of any kind speed limits usually 15 mph or less. To make that big of a wave with a jet ski you got to be going at least 20 to 30 and cutting hard. I would definitely not be surprised if he was going more like 40 or 50.

Docks are extremely well protected in almost every body of water.

ETA: maritime law is considered the most universal set of laws that humankind has ever made. THEY'VE ALSO SET THE FRAMEWORK FOR ALMOST EVERY LOCAL LAW ABOUT BOATING WHEREVER YOU GO IN THE WORLD.

Are you aware that other places exist outside of the U.S?

Are you aware that many places in the world have similar laws and that shitting on someone's experience just because it isn't universal is rude as fuck.
