Yes, you do have a seat belt on. Wipe outs are usually easier on the body than regular water skiing. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't take a whole lot of physical effort to get up and to ride it. This makes the learning process a whole lot better, since you can try a bunch of starts without being to whipped to hold on to the rope. After you master the starts, you pop up with ease. Here's a couple photos I took of my friend trying to do 360s, both of which were unsuccesful.
