Abstract
A toy watercraft includes a housing and a motor contained within the housing and operatively connected with a propulsion system for propelling the watercraft when the motor is operated. A safety device is constructed and arranged to permit operation of the motor when the watercraft is immersed in water, and prevent operation of the motor when the watercraft is removed from water.

A toy watercraft comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor contained within the housing and operatively connected with a propulsion system for propelling the watercraft when the motor is operated;
- and
- a safety device constructed and arranged to permit operation of the motor when the watercraft is immersed in water, and prevent operation of the motor when the watercraft is removed from water.
A safety device for a toy watercraft including a housing and a motor contained within the housing and operatively connected with a propulsion system for propelling the watercraft when the motor is operated, the safety device comprising:
- first and second spaced-apart sensors provided on an external surface of the housing, the first and second sensors being arranged such that operation of the motor is determined by a sensed parameter of the first and second sensors,
- wherein the sensed parameter is associated with the watercraft's relation to water such that the operation of the motor is permitted when the first and second sensors are immersed in water, and operation of the motor is prevented when the first and second sensors are removed from water.
