Insurance Not Required in Parasailing
On Thursday, 28-year-old Kathleen Miskell from Connecticut was killed when she fell approximately 200 feet in a parasailing accident off Pompano Beach.
Mayor Lamar Fisher said he too was trying to push for legislation to regulate the industry.
"And so here we are today, losing another life, because of no inspections and no opportunities to make sure that this equipment is safe. For someone to have come down on vacation to Pompano Beach, it's inexcusable to me," he said.
