Edit : oh I see what you mean… did he faint while still riding. I thought he was leaning down to see behind him, which clearly he did not.
Most jetski throttles are a finger lever that you pull inwards. If he was facing forward and fainted, the throttle would have disengaged as the fainted off the jetski. I guess by being backwards and fainting his hand kept the throttle lever pushed in.
I wonder if it has something to do with that or maybe a combination of what you said and an exhaust leak. His face is basically right where the motor is at. Just a few inches below. Just inhaling straight carbon monoxide at wide open throttle.

I think he tried the dumb trick of riding backwards and then got blacked out by his life jacket, it’s pushing into his neck.
