</blockquote><p>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.</p>

</blockquote><p>Hola<br />
I've seen a few crashes on La Ropa over the years. One guy ended up in the palms by La Pirata. One guy landed onto of one of the umbrellas in front of Rossys and destroyed the whole table. It was occupied at the time . No one was hurt.  Saw another land awkwardly on the beach and had to be carried off. Saw lots of crash in the bay.<br />
Having said all that, I have been on one in PV. It was a long liner. Really enjoyed it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Can you parsail on laropa ands how much does it cost and also Ixtapa?</p>
</blockquote><p>Be aware that before they jerk you into the air, you must sign a liability waiver. They can then kill you and get away with it. I've seen it happen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes on la Ropa, not sure, but not too pricey.  The guys we recommend are in front of The Thompson at the end of the mercado de artesanias.  </p>
<p>The guys in Ixtapa have more of a challenge.  Because of the surf they use a much longer rope.</p>
<p>Don't care what other's say, it's a blast, and we do it not irregularily.</p>
