Video: While traveling safety is the prime thing that must not be taken to granted as lack of safety measures can turn the exciting experience to a dangerous one.
About the Video incident:
It went viral where two women can be seen parasailing when the rope holding them to the boat snapped and after that both of them terribly tumbled into the sea from a height of 100 metres. Fortunately, both of them were wearing life jackets that helped them stay afloat and were soon rescued by the boatmen.
The video has garnered more than 3.7 million views and has raised questions about the legitimacy of the standard safety procedures followed by adventure sports operators across India. While some accidents occur due to negligence, some happen due to bad judgment of the participants.
In the wake of such incidents the government has been revising policy on adventure sports that includes imposing a total ban on the use of intoxicants while doing aero sports or water sports like rafting, kayaking, or canoeing. Stricter provisions for violators have also been added.
