parasailing

Parasailing, also known as parascending, is a recreational activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat) 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. This picture was captured when i was  in Batu feringgi, Penang. parasailing looks fun and exciting  to me but it scared me more. i've heard a story that there was an incident at one of the beach in penang about a japanese girl who suffered laceration on her neck after a parasailing rope got hooked on to her neck. and after that story going through my ears, i'm so not into it anymore. "capturing" is enough. ^_^
