Parasailing is a popular sport in which the rider hitched to a
parachute like
canopy, known as a Parasail, is set aloft in the air. The
Parasail is
attached to a long towrope, which is pulled along, by a speeding
form of
transportation. When the speed exceeds the stalling speed, the
parasail
rises, hoisting the pilot up into the air.
