The Parasailing Pack
The
Parasailing Equpiments mainly consist of a
Glider,
which in its inflated form offers resistance to the wind and the air. Then
there is a
harness which is attached to the paraglider and the pilot
for safety purpose.
A helmet and a extra parachute is there for the
safety and the emergency landing of the pilot.
VARIOMETER is the
main instrument for gaugingthe ascent and the descent of the pilot.
Types Of Parasailing
In India, mainly three type of Parasailing are the most popular ones:
»Winchboat Parasailing : In this sort of Parasailing the ascent
and descent of the parasailor takes place from the boat itself. The boat in
the sea is well equipped with parasailing equipments. It has a parasail
inflation system and hydraulic winch powered by the main drive engine. These
two help in launching and retriving the parasailorfrom the flight deck.
»Beach Parasailing : As the name suggests the beach is the main
ground for the ascent and descent of the parasailor. It is much more
complicated than the Winchboat Parasailing. Even the most experienced
parasailors are not approved for this without prior permission.
» Platform Parasailing : In this sort of ParaSailing one flies
under the winds which are below 5 to 15 mph, away from rough ocean and poor
weathe conditions and other things close to proximity.

What To Take
There are certain dangers while on a Parasailing which one should remember
.
Don't parasail in the winds more than 15mph.
If the parasail rotates more than 45 degrees in the air, the safety pin
should be pulled before the canopy can spill its air and drop the sailor.
You, the parasailor must wear a life vest, as the harness is too heavy
to swim in.
Provide emergency numbers and the number of the person whom they can
contact.
Ground assistants must hold the guidelines evenly or the parasail will
take off in a diagonal direction.
Pick up the parasailor and equipment in the safety boat and return to
shore to launch again.
