RedactedNarrative: The owner of the personal watercraft said he and two males had just returned to the beach after filling the PWC with fuel.  The two young men got on the PWC to go check out some wildlife seen in another location.  
  
  When the operator touched the start button, the PWC exploded sending men into the air about 10 feet.   One received burns and the other a cut.  Both were transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where they were treated and released a few hours later.  Both occupants were wearing life jackets.  The owner reported he did not know if the operator had been using alcohol or drugs prior to the accident.  The PWC was a total loss and the estimated value is about $5,000 based on a web search of comparable vessels.
