Motorized Parasail Nearly Clips Gulfport Dock, Trees
The man piloting this parasail wore a motor on his back, allowing him to zip not too high above Gulfport's trees, dock and marina.
A parasailing daredevil posted a 3 minute YouTube video showing his Loop-De-Loop moves over Gulfport's waterfront.
The parasail was not solely relying on wind, however. It was motorized. This form of flying is known as powered paragliding or paramotoring. The pilot wears the motor on his or her back.
Check out the video at about 1:00. Sure does not look too safe. What do you think?
