A British tourist tragically lost their life in a parasailing accident off the coast of Benidorm on Monday evening. A second person was also seriously injured in the incident. The accident occurred at Tío Ximo Cove and Cola de Caballo rocky headland, near Levante Beach, one of Benidorm's most popular summer activities. Participants are secured beneath a parachute and pulled through the air by a speedboat.
The 70-year-old British woman died from cardiorespiratory arrest and multiple traumatic injuries, while the 47-year-old man sustained multiple injuries and was treated at Sant Joan d'Alacant University Hospital. The line connecting the parasail to the towing boat reportedly broke, causing the parasail to crash onto rocks. Weather conditions were severe, with strong gusts and a red flag raised at Levante Beach.
The Civil Guard is investigating the accident, examining the tow line, equipment, and safety measures.
