Sean Kingston sat down with MTV News on Tuesday night and opened up for the first time about the jet-ski accident that landed him in the hospital. During “MTV First: Sean Kingston,” the singer spoke candidly with Sway Calloway at his house in Miami about the day that changed his life forever, letting fans know that months after his jet ski crashed into a bridge near his home in Florida, he’s now back and better than ever.

Jet ski accidents happen more often than more people realise. The lack of laws around hiring jet skis means that anybody can go out and rent them for a day with minimal knowledge. They often get a quick crash course on how to use the vessle but then can go off alone and travel speeds of up to 50MPH. This lack of knowledge is often the cause of needless accidents where innocent people are injured for no reason. If this has happened to you then you may want to contact a Personal Injury Attorney Orange County. Kingston is just one example of how jet skis can turn a holiday sour.

“I’m doing good. I’m feeling great. I’m excited. I’m happy,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know it was a deeper situation. I had open heart surgery and I had two other surgeries; it was a life-or-death situation.“
