Brother and Sister Injured After Their Parasail Breaks Free

Two siblings were slightly injured after their parachute broke loose from a speedboat in a storm, sending them into a nearby field.

On seeing the 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old woman in trouble, bathers rushed into the sea in an attempt to hold the speedboat which had been pushed perilously close to the beach by the fierce storm.

However, they could do little except watch the two people suspended with their legs and arms flailing. Then the cord snapped and the parachute flew into a nearby field before landing in the bushes and dragged against a wall of a boathouse.
