Parasailing death highlights travel risks
A father has fallen to his death in Turkey while parasailing with his daughter. Emma Hudson was on her first flight when her father Glenn who was in tandem with her suddenly fell 150 ft to the beach. Turkish police are investigating what went wrong and caused the death of an experienced parasailor.
Mr Hudson’s widow Linda has instructed a lawyer and is calling for tighter regulation of this type of holiday activity. Parasailing, water skiing and scuba diving are just some of the hazardous activities people often try on holiday and it is very difficult to judge in advance whether they are being properly run.
Make sure your travel insurance covers you for all the activities you may want to try. It is much better to contact your insurer before you travel rather than leave it until you are on holiday and decide to try something new. It may then be too late to arrange the cover you need.
