What does an automatic cut off lanyard do when property attached to a PWC operator?

An automatic cut-off lanyard is a safety device that connects the operator of a personal watercraft (PWC) to the machine. If the operator falls off or becomes separated from the PWC, the lanyard detaches, cutting off the engine's power immediately. This feature helps prevent the PWC from continuing to operate uncontrollably, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. It is a crucial safety measure for ensuring the operator's safety while riding.
