Vessel 1 was out on the water for about 2 hours and came in for a break. The operator got back on the jet-ski pushed off the dock and tried to start it. When he hit the ignition, the jet-ski exploded.

The operator did not open the hood or otherwise ventilate the hull prior to attempting to start the vessel since it had not been refueled between the time that it was returned to dock and was preparing to set out again.
