Parasailors taking off in Albena in Bulgaria.
Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail.
The boat then drives off, carrying the parascender into the air.
If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time.
The parascender has little or no control over the parachute.
There are six parts of a parasail.
The harness attaches the pilot to the parasail, which is connected to the boat, or other speeding vehicle, by the tow rope.
The activity is primarily an amusement ride not a sporting activity.
Today it is a popular attraction at on beaches all over the world.
