Waterjets can delaminate some materials such as fiberglass. In many cases, this can be prevented by low-pressure piercing or pre-piercing the material with a pneumatic drill prior to waterjettting. If this is a concern, ask your prospective waterjet manufacturer to perform a test cut on your material.
