What is parasailing?

parasailing is a sport including parachute and ship. The person is attached to the parachute and then tied to a motor boat that throws, acquires and maintains a person outside the ground. Many people are considered a hobby rather than a sport, because the parachute person does not have control of movement and speed, and therefore becomes simply passengers. Some countries perform parasailing without a ship and attach a person to a land vehicle. However, this is considered to be more dangerous and is recommended only to those who have some experience in advance.

Created in 70 years, parasailing is a relatively new sport. It was founded by a father who wanted to try something new as family entertainment. Brian Gaskin eventually designed his own parachute, "water bird" and financed the first parasailing company. “Waterbird Paracites” is now a number one producer in the world of equipment for this sport.

Parasailing can practice anyone because it does not require any specific skill, except for the ability to swim. Once the flight winds down, a person attached toThe parachute ends in the water, which is considered the safest way to stop the ride. People who are afraid of heights should also be careful because some flights are made up to 2,000 feet (610 m) outside the ground. Because the person is attached to a parachute with a harness, the risk of injury is smaller, allowing children and older people to enjoy sport. The youngest person to be recorded was parasailing was 9; oldest, 87.

Sport is popular in the Caribbean and tourist destinations with an emphasis on water recreation. Florida has a number of parasailing operations, like most Central America countries. Originally, flights were only one person, but more and more companies now offer group flights through particularly designated parachutes. The maximum number of people in a group flight is three, enough for a small family to enjoy an experience together.
