Parasailing is an outdoor recreational activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute-like canopy. This setup allows the individual to ascend into the air, providing a unique view of the surrounding landscape. The experience combines elements of both sailing and skydiving, making it popular in coastal areas. Participants typically wear a harness connected to the parachute and are lifted into the air as the boat accelerates. Safety measures, such as life jackets and proper equipment checks, are essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
