Take a look at this article from a very experienced tournament angler.

Last fall (2007) I got hit by a rogue wake a half mile outside Lake Mead Marina no wake zone. Mid week....I was going about 40mph in my, then new, XZ 225 Skeeter. I never saw it coming. The wake bow hooked us and threw the 20 ft. Skeeter up in the air. Fortunately, no damage other than some shaken nerves.
I always wear a life preserver. I always hook up the kill switch when running over 1500 RPM.
The guy I sold the old Skeeter to, had a habit of forgetting to do the kill switch attachment.
