Abstract
A visual marker means for attachment to the floatation gear of a water skier to enable the skier to be more readily detected when down in the water. The marker means includes a staff having a flag member secured to the upper end thereof, and attachment means are secured to the lower end of the staff to permit releasable attachment of the staff and flag member to the floatation gear of the water skier. The attachment means includes a resilient belt or strap member which is coupled at its upper end to the staff, and at its lower end to the staff securing buckle or plate, the attachment being such that the belt and the staff form a closed loop for the attachment of the safety flag to the floatation gear of the skier.
