We present VLBA observations of the H₂O masers towards IRAS 20126+4104, a high-mass young stellar object which is believed to be associated with a rotating disk and a bipolar outflow/jet system collimated along the disk axis. A model fit to the positions and velocities of the maser spots demonstrates that these could arise on a conical surface at the interface between the jet and the surrounding molecular gas. The masers expand from a common centre which coincides, within the uncertainties, with the position of the embedded young stellar object: the expansion velocity is less than that measured on a much larger scale in the SiO(2-1) line and this indicates that the jet is sensitively braked close to its origin by the interaction with the surrounding medium.
