Police have reported the two 80-year-olds were trying to launch the jetski in water outside of a home on Howard Street just before 11.30am.

They were said to be standing on a pontoon, trying to untie the jetski from a pole when it accidentally accelerated, throwing the men back.

Three Queensland ambulance crews and water police attended.

Both men were transported to Gold Coast University, both with minor leg injuries.
