What is Parasailing?
[[File:Parasailing in Prasonisi. Rhodes, Greece.jpg|thumb|280px|Parasailin in Rhodes]] '''Parasailing''' is a [[sport]]. Parasailers are put into a [[harness]] that is attached to a [[parachute]]. They hold on to a rope and are towed at high speeds behind a [[vehicle]] (usually a [[boat]], but sometimes a truck on land). The parachute helps them rise up into the air behind the vehicle. People parasail for the thrill and also to get a good, high view of the scenery around them. Parasailing is a popular [[recreation]]al activity that was developed in the 1960s. Dangers include falling too fast while in the air with injuries upon landing. {{sport-stub}} [[Category:Sports for the disabled]]
