What is parascending?

Parascending is an aerial sport where participants are towed behind a vehicle (typically a boat or car) while attached to a parachute. Unlike paragliding, it doesn’t require takeoff from a height, making it an accessible way to enjoy the sensation of flight. It combines scenic thrills with the control of ground-based launch systems.

Do I need travel insurance for parascending?

Yes. Parascending can lead to injuries from sudden weather changes or awkward landings. Travel insurance can help cover emergency medical costs, trip cancellations, and incidents while participating in the activity abroad.
