Parasailing allows individuals to fly high and enjoy the scenery while attached to a boat which helps catch the wind currents and keep the person buoyant enough for long periods of time. This is a sport that is exhilarating and adrenaline-inducing, and it is ideal for areas around an ocean due to the air currents rushing from the ocean and onto land, enabling parasailers to stay buoyant for an extended amount of time. Parasailing, while fun, is not without its risks, and proper caution must be taken prior to taking off in order to ensure the passenger is strapped in properly, equipment is working, and that they have the needed safety instructions so that they can mitigate any emergencies in a timely manner. Parasailing gives a person a false sense of security because they are anchored to a boat and are flying over an ocean.

However, the fact that the sport occurs over an ocean or body of water such as a windy lake does not mean that one is safe – the ropes can get snagged in the boat machinery, sending the passenger to the watery depths leading to drowning, they may collapse with other nearby structures, and they may suffer broken bones as they hit the water or even the boat that is dragging them along. It is important to note that parasailing companies owe you a duty of care to keep you safe according to the law and that should they breach said duty of care via a negligent act, they may be held liable for your injuries by way of paying your damages meant to make you whole again.

Parasailing companies may however attempt to get out of this by stating that you signed a liability waiver or your own actions were the proximate cause. In addition, they may attempt to get you to sign another document promising payment shortly after your injury in conjunction with the insurance company, but doing so may lock you out of comprehensive compensation. It is because of these reasons that you will require an experienced parasailing injury attorney to go over your case’s particulars to secure your right to justice and compensation, and we’re here to help with this and so much more.

Parasailing Negligence and Injuries – What You Need to Know

Here are some of the most common types of parasailing injuries:

Neck and Back Injuries

These are caused by the sudden jolt of landing or the wind forces that have been shown to cause sprains, strains and even herniated discs in some instances. These injuries lead to chronic pain and may require treatment, surgery and even physical therapy.

Fractures

Should an operator fail to perform safety checks prior to the parasailing session on the tow lines or harness, the passenger may sustain a hard landing or sudden falls, resulting in broken arm, leg and rib bones

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Falls from heights place the brain at risk of suffering concussions or traumatic brain injuries, particularly if the passenger or rider comes into contact with the water at a high velocity. If an operator fails to provide riders with the needed safety briefings or ignores signs of unusually strong winds, they may be liable for the rider’s injuries.

Additionally, the instructors may also be held liable if they failed to properly brief you on the safety needs required prior to engaging in the activity, or ignoring danger signs such as an uptick in strong winds as well as the presence of potentially deadly waves.
