WASHINGTON, DC
The National Transportation Safety Board released a video today on parasailing safety. The video shows the consumer what to look for when choosing a parasailing operator, and provides tips for inspecting equipment. Each year, an estimated 3 to 5 million people in the United States enjoy the thrill offered by this unique sport. But when a parasailing adventure becomes a parasailing accident, the result can be serious injury or death. Last year, the Board issued a Special Investigation Report on parasailing and a safety alert for parasailing operators. The special investigation report is available here: http://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Pages/SIR1402.aspx |
