Para sailing

I did it once, maybe 25 years ago, in Ixtapa. I actually found it to be quite boring. The take off was fun, but after that it was mostly sitting in an uncomfortable chair.

> I have seen numerous people injured parasailing in Ixtapa.

One thing to remember, aside from risk of death, is that health insurance policies tend to consider parasailing to be a high risk activity and insurance benefits are denied.

Funny> Been here for thirty years. The last 10 years for 3-4 months. Spend HOURS on the beach almost daily and have a parasail operation right in front. Have never seen a serious injury.

Watched a guy fall out of the sky, get wrapped in the chute in the waves and drown in front of his wife and kids in Ixtapa at the Krystal. The boat allegedly ran out of fuel. Nothing happened to the boat operator. They simply laid low for a couple of weeks and went right back to work like nothing ever happened.
