Well, Im not sure if I am the first person this happened to but I did see some people were concerned over the plastic construction of the column. Those concerns were valid. Me and my buddy were riding tandem and we went into a turn to the left. We throttled up to power thru the turn when the column just sheered off in the middle of the turn. We both got dumped. My buddy got run over by the ski and the sponson got him in the leg. We swam away fine but I was pretty upset. ****, its only got 12 hours on it.
We took it to the dealer immediately. They said this was the first one they've seen do this. It looks like there may have been a defect in the casting of the column. Be for warned that it can and will break on you.
Please inspect your ski's before and after every ride to insure structural integrity. I'd hate to see other Spark owners get seriously hurt over defects or poor construction techniques. Hopefully Sea Doo improves their casting and uses stronger materials in the future. I'm covered under warranty so I'm not worried about, just upset its out of service for awhile.
