Residents of Playa de Muro maintain that illegal jet ski hire on the S'Oberta canal poses a safety risk. They say that the jet skis are stored in an empty lot and are moved by trailers according to demand along streets used by residents to walk to the beach.

More than this, residents claim that jet ski are filled with fuel at the same lot, leading them to believe that there must be a fuel tank there. "If an accident occurred it would affect all the surrounding houses."
