The riderless jet ski then struck members of the audience.
A Victorian man, 39, underwent surgery for serious leg injuries at the Gold Coast Hospital after the accident, described by one spectator as like something out of a James Bond movie.
Three others in the crowd, a Gold Coast couple in their sixties and their 34-year-old daughter, received minor injuries.
"The jet ski was full bore, straight towards the stand," spectator Stuart Martin told Channel 10 news.
"It went up a grass embankment and skidded straight in. It was just like a James Bond movie."
Spectators said the jet ski missed a wheelchair-bound woman by "inches".
Police have taken possession of the jet ski for mechanical inspection.
The theme park's chief operating officer, Steve Peet, described the accident as unfortunate.

I agree. This can be nothing other than a terrorist attack! If we do not begin bombing Iraq now what other terrors will our population be subject too? Nuke 'em I say before this gets out of hand!!! |

This morning a "runaway" skateboard almost tripped me up and just missed a bus full of school kids! This evil must be nipped in the bud before it escalates! Imagine the horror! Scooters! Tricycles! Goddamn it, frisbees, anthrax-tainted frisbees! |
