Tourist is 'knocked out cold' during parasailing launch and carried into the air unconscious
A woman was 'knocked out cold' as she took off on a parasail after a cable struck her head. Tourists gasped in horror amid fears the woman had broken her neck as she was hit by the cable. Three people - two women and a man - were attached as the parasail was launched from a beach in the Russian city of Golubitskaya, on the Black Sea. Three attendants were assisting - but the launch went badly wrong. The woman in front is yanked out of position as 'a cable jerks sharply'. She is seen hanging limply as the holidaymakers are towed into the sky by a speedboat. Multiple reports have said she was 'unconscious'. Voices from the beach shouted: 'She's not feeling well, she's not feeling well...' One said: 'She could have broken her neck. Something's wrong with her back.' The crew on the boat did not immediately realize the severity of the situation - and the flight continued with her hanging unconscious in the strapping. Krasnodar Teletype Telegram channel reported: 'The boat operator failed to notice the condition of the passenger and continued the scheduled ride. 'At the moment of takeoff, a piece of parasail equipment detached and struck her in the head. The woman lost consciousness.' Two women were hospitalized following the parasailing flight at Al Mare beach. Local media have not reported on the condition of the woman in front, nor named the pair, a mother and daughter. The daughter later said: 'Mom is doing as well as can be expected. I was hurt too - I have some injuries. But we're okay, everything's fine - we're alive.' Paramedics were called to give first aid before they were taken to hospital. The Russian Investigative Committee has launched a probe into suspected safety breaches. The Novorossiysk Transport Prosecutor's Office is also investigating the horrific incident.

Horrifying moment female tourist is 'knocked out cold' during parasailing launch and carried into the air unconscious after 'cable struck her on the head'
This is the terrifying moment a woman was 'knocked out cold' as she took off on a parasail after a cable struck her head. Tourists gasped in horror amid fears the tourist had broken her neck as she was hit by a cable. Three people - two women and a man - were attached as the parasail launched from a beach in the Russian city of Golubitskaya, on the Black Sea.

She is seen hanging limply as the holidaymakers are towed into the sky by a speedboat. Multiple reports said she was 'unconscious'. Voices from the beach shouted: 'She's not feeling well, she's not feeling well….' One said: 'She could have broken her neck. Something's wrong with her back.' The crew on the boat did not immediately realise the desperate plight of the woman in front - and the flight continued with her hanging unconscious in the strapping. 'The boat operator failed to notice the condition of the passenger and continued the scheduled ride,' said Krasnodar Teletype Telegram channel. 'At the moment of take-off, a piece of parasail equipment detached and struck her in the head. The woman lost consciousness.' Two women were hospitalised in the emergency following the parasailing flight at Al Mare beach.
