PHUKET: -- A 10-year-old Russian boy on holidays in Phuket with his family escaped serious injury today (April 24) when the boat hauling the parasail he was riding in at Karon Beach stalled from a plastic bag in the water.

 

Karon Police were called to the scene, at the southern end of the beach, at 11:50am.

 

Capt Weerayuth Thanyasirisukworakul named the Russian child as Timur Gadylshin.

 

“Noppadon Nakheepaet, the parasail assistant riding in the sky with the child when they fell explained that the boat was being driven by Suriya Rukkha, 34,” Capt Weerayuth said.

 

“He said that Suriya told him that the boat stalled after a plastic bag became entangled around the propeller.

 

“Mr Suriya tried to steer the boat in order to bring the Mr Noppadon and the child safely to the ground, but the parasail collapsed while they were still a little more than two metres in the air,” Capt Weerayuth said.

well, it's terrible. However nobody forces the boy to go for parasailing. And nobody forced the parents to do so. Stay away from such nonsense. Zip line is another obstacle.

Safety is always compromised here in Thailand for almost all the adventure activities. Its never on the mind of the organizers and is always ignored. No action taken on this ever.
