Trip diary: Parasailing at Bangalore

Event: Parasailing at Bangalore.
Venue: Hoskote near KRPuram in Bangalore.

We started in the morning with few other friends and reached at Hoskote at around 9AM.
The organizers had planned well for the parasailing event.They had a jeep and a parachute which is tied to the back of the jeep. The jeep starts running in a direction opposite to the direction of wind flow with the parachute tied to a rope which is attached to the jeep.
Optimum wind is required for the parachute to rise and go high. So, we waited for an hour to make the wind God haapy. At around 11 AM cool breeze started and we started flying one by one. They got a paper signed from all participants which said organizers are not responsible for any injury and its my own willingness to try this adventure sport.A brave soul came from among us to volunteer to fly first. Everyone was happy to get escaped from the first turn.A jacket and helmet is worn by the person who does the parasailing.
Flying is an awesome experience .Specillay when you dont hold anything and are flying like a bird. Everyone did flied for around 10 minutes.

Ready for Launch
