If you come off I should imagine its like headbutting a brick wall full force with the aid of a particularly large and fit sumo wrestler ploughing in behind you.
They are really loud!
If you cant swim and you fall in you may drown!
You cant kick a tyre when you pick it up to make sure its all working properly!
Its really bad for wildlife as you will no doubt hit baby seals, ducks and suchlike!
I wouldnt touch one with a bargepole (mainly because I keep that for my canal boat) plus did I mention that they are loud?

I have a Seadoo Speedster jet boat,, very similar to jetski same engines just x2, be prepared to spend a fair bit on servicing
maintenance etc and don't cheap out when you buy it or you'll get stung. Just make sure you have a place to use it i know sounds stupid and check the hull for any cracks big bashes could indicate if its been crashed or not. Another annoying thing is there is no way to really know if it's stolen or not unless the seller has proof of purchase.
