Parasailing Types

Types and ways of parasailing

Today we use three types to start parasailing

• Start from the shore where flyer makes couple of steps before parachute lifts him up. The landing is usually done in the water.


• From platform to the sea (this could be motorized) where start is the same from the shore but it's possible to land on the platform


• From the platform of the ship it's the most used and it's the safest way. Parachuter sits on the platform and it's hooked up by the "open-ready" parachute. After that with a help of the special winch it lafts and lands on the ship. There are several ways that helps the flyer to be tied up to parachute.


• Single harness - it is the most common employed, used as a seat for one person


• Double harness - two persons together, one in the front of other


• Tandem bar harness - a metal bar, which is hooked to the seats, one next to the other, possible to the three people


• Skyrider chair - special seats for more persons
