Parasailing In Miami | South Beach
ParaSailing as you can see in the video below is just being attached
to a parachute and being pulled by a specially designed boat, which has a
special plat form and reel mechanism. This ride is a most do for all the
family.
The attachment on the parachute where you hang on could carry up to 5 people,
What can you expect from this ride? Well, after you pay and is your turn to get
on the boat, and depending on how
busy they are, they will either pick you up in the same boat; or a jet Ski or a
different boat will take you to the riding boat and you'll have to jump on it,
while most likely other people are still up in the air and slowly falling (is pretty awesome
when this happens if you are up there, because you see them taking their time
while you are falling and you start wondering if they'll ever going to pull you
back up).
Once in the boat you'll be given a special harness which goes around your legs
and chest that kind of forces you to be in a seating position when you're
hanging up in the air. Whenever is your turn to ride the people up in the air will
be pulled down to the plat form until they are in a seating position, un-hook and
seat on the boat (while the parachute remains flared, then here you go!
Since you already have your harness on, you just seat on the plat form and hook to the
special railing of the parachute and off they send you!
the electronically controlled reeling mechanism is specially design and attached to and for
this boat, plus it will reel you in and out very slowly, so no need to worry. Most people
think this ride is hardcore, but is not; this
could be done by anyone since it moves very slow in all directions, specially
when in idle (boat not moving); it's like being in a blimp. If you've never done
it it's about time you scratch it of your list.
Some of this companies will charge a little extra for what would be an extreme-ride where
they drop you into the water (as soon as you're waist deep or so they
pull you back up).
