===Regulations===
In 2014, the [[National Transportation Safety Board]] issued a press release in which it found the parasailing industry to be largely unregulated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://miami.cbslocal.com/2014/07/01/ntsb-parasailing-accidents-frequently-caused-by-faulty-equipment/|title=NTSB: Parasailing Accidents 'Frequently Caused By Faulty Equipment'|date=July 2014 }}</ref> The report identified a number of safety concerns which included vessel operators who continued to operate despite hazardous wind conditions, use of inadequate equipment and unserviceable gear, and compromised strength of rope tied to the parasail. In a period from 1998 to the third of July 2013, there were six parasailing fatalities in the Florida area.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/parasailing-safety-questioned-accident-florida/story?id=19567438|title=Parasailing Safety Questioned After Accident|work= ABC News|date=8 July 2013}}</ref> The great majority of deaths in parasail incidents have occurred when riders were unable to get out of their harness support system after an unplanned landing in water during high winds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swoperodante.com/parasailing-accident-statistics/|title=Parasailing Accident Statistics & Info - Swope, Rodante, P.A.|date=8 May 2014}}</ref>

Prior to the release of the NTSB report, Florida passed the [[White-Miskell Act]] which added strict regulations parasailing companies must follow including obtaining an insurance policy, and restrictions on parasailing in inclement weather.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wet-n-Wild Parasailing Destin|url=http://destinflboatrentals.com/attractions/parasailing/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207142323/http://destinflboatrentals.com/attractions/parasailing/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2017-02-07}}</ref>
