Parasail

Parasail Parasailing is an adventurous aero-sport. The parasailor, along with the parasail parachute, is pulled mechanically by a jeep. The canopy gets inflated and on further pulling starts ascending in the air like a glider up to a certain height. At a predetermined height, the parachutist is disconnected from the rope and starts descending with the help of the parachute as a parajumper.
