One modern railroad recycling business started back in 1959 when its originator, Kern Schumacher (aged 19), learned of thousands of soon-to-be-removed rail ties on the Oakland Bay Bridge.

Prior to buying their own personal watercraft (or PWC), many consumers choose to first rent one from a Lake Powell boat rental company. PWCs are those shorter-than-16-foot-long boats with internal combustion motors that power water-jet pumps. There are various brands of personal watercraft, including Wet Jet, Jet Ski, Wave Runner, Tiger Shark, and Sea Doo. Legally operating any of these PWCs requires the successful completion of a boating-safety course. PWCs have a record of disproportionately being involved in boating accidents, with a high percentage of these avoidable tragedies being caused by operators who were inexperienced, not keeping a proper lookout, and operating recklessly.
