The jet ski had been knocked off course by a freak wave and into the path of an accompanying boat.

Fortunately, the jet ski operator had managed to jump clear before being struck by the boat himself.

The casualty was thoroughly examined and his only injuries were some grazes to his shins.

Llandudno Coastguard said: “This was a group of four experienced jet skiers, accompanied by a support boat, and all involved were appropriately equipped and trained.

“This is an example of an accident which demonstrates the potential dangers of any activity at sea.

“If you are venturing out in a boat or on a jet ski, make sure that you are wearing an appropriate flotation device, are carrying some method of reliable communication, and have informed someone of your plans and planned return time.

“Should you get into difficulties, please call the Coastguard on VHF channel 16, or dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
