I'm sure they are fine... right?! 😨

White people listen, don't do any adventure activities in Thailand or India , people here don't give a fuck about safety of tourists. There are zero security measures if things go wrong.

That was a ~4 second fall, so about 250 feet. He would have been doing almost 90 MPH when he hit. Hitting water, which doesn't compress much, at that speed is physically similar to hitting concrete surface. He definitely died.

Water's not soft and squishy. It's more like concrete when you're falling at 120mph.

I will never parasail, skydive or hot air balloon outside the United States. Not putting my life in the hands of a 20-something 3rd world idiot working a risky tourist attraction.

What’s the best way to position your body when falling that far?

I would never trust that parasailing crap!

Why are these clips always so short. Are the people videoing mentally challenged.

That's 30+ meters (approximately 100 feet) into water is life-threatening and carries an extremely high risk of severe injury or death. I would think RIP

I stupidly parasailed on Karon Beach Phuket in 2006. The people on the beach were jumping up and down waving their arms at me and I just thought they were weirdly excited for some reason. Then I look up. Over my left shoulder was an eight year old boy clinging to the rigging riding along with me.

Roger Hussey 71 died in Phuket. He accidentally grabbed the clip and unhooked himself from his harness. Both parasail operators were charged with negligence.

Yeah, water is basically like falling into a pillow 🙄

Can’t park there mate!

@grok any info on the people that fell?

Ok we still have enough daylight for another ride, who’s next?

Here's the story.

That’s how my aunt died. You are unlikely to survive a fall that high.

That was a 71 year old falling to his death

probably alright after the fall , but got chopped-up by the rotor-blade of the boat going to pick him up

pretty great of a way to go out in epic style beautiful scenery and audience to see the record sized belly flop splash on camera gonna be talked about for years.

That’s why I will never get on one of those.

Definitely not

The first person was either dead on impact, or broke half the bones in their body and were unconscious and probably drowned. Falling from that height, at that speed, you’re basically hitting concrete if you don’t hit the water like a diver

@pmcafrica To think i did this parasailing at 900ft lol wellll

You can totally survive that if you hit the water at the perfect angle. However, I don't think they did.

The first guy isn’t fine

Hitting the water from that height is just like landing on concrete, so, NO, the first person is very likely NOT fine. The second person may be alright...unless they get tangled up in the parachute lines and drown.

Kata beach phuket 4vyears ago guy died

Falling from that height n speed will be like hitting a block of concrete…ouches.

I freaking hope so 🙏

4s, must be roughly 80m.
