Parasailing a thrill yet peaceful too

In this Sept. 24,2012 photo, two people parasail over the Miami Beach, Fla. area. Soaring high above the ocean off South Beach, tethered only by a rope to a boat hundreds of feet below, riding in a parasail is at once exhilarating and oddly peaceful, even quiet. For millions of people, that's the takeaway from a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But every year there are accidents, some of them fatal. The Parasail Safety Council, which tracks injuries and deaths from the activity nationwide, reports more than 70 people have been killed and at least 1,600 injured between 1982 and 2012, out of an estimated 150 million parasail rides during those 30 years. Despite the inherent risk, few federal or state safety regulations exist for parasailing. In Florida, which has by far the largest number of parasail operators at about 120, repeated efforts to enact new rules following fatal accidents have landed with a thud. Florida is seen by safety proponents as a national bellwether because of parasailing's popularity in the state. (AP Photo/Tony Winton)

(AP) ? I'm not afraid of heights, or flying, or thrill rides. So I didn't hesitate to take a parasail ride for an Associated Press story about the activity's lack of safety regulations.

Equipped with a small video camera, I was buckled into a tandem harness along with Miami Beach Parasail crew member Gabriela Samut. With a parachute-like sail already aloft behind the boat, we sat on the aft deck in our harnesses and got clipped into a tow bar. Then the boat picked up speed and we were gradually lifted into the air by the wind.

At first I felt a slight stomach drop and couldn't help but kick my legs in freedom. Soon, the noise of the boat's engine died away and it was akin to riding in a hot-air balloon: there's almost no sound but the wind. At 300 or so feet, we could see rock formations under the clear sea and scan the upper floors of South Beach's famed Art Deco hotels.

Below us, the boat circled. We were connected only by that one thin rope.

Eventually the boat slowed and we gradually descended as the crew winched in the line. A highlight was the "toe dip," where we were just above the water line and were able to stick our feet into the water. Up again we went, then gradually down until we landed gently back on the boat with both feet.

The ride was more exhilarating than scary. In all, the fun lasted about 10 minutes.

HBT: Gio won't make final start for Nationals

The Nationals have scratched Gio Gonzalez from his final regular season start tonight after clinching the NL East title last night.

Washington is still fighting Cincinnati for the No. 1 seed, but manager Davey Johnson has decided that resting Gonzalez for a Game 1 start in the NLDS is more important. Tom Gorzelanny will take his place against the Phillies.

Making a 33rd start also could have helped Gonzalez?s case for the Cy Young award, but instead he?ll finish two-thirds of an inning short of cracking 200 innings for the third straight season and ends the year 21-8 with a 2.89 ERA.

Brain-damaged man wins new trial in 1987 killing

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ? Supporters of a brain-damaged man serving life in prison for killing his former wife's grandmother say they plan to seek bail for him after Connecticut's second-highest court ordered a new trial.

The state Appellate Court ruled Monday that prosecutors suppressed key evidence in the case of Richard Lapointe that may have supported his alibi.

Lapointe was convicted in 1992 of killing Bernice Martin, who was found raped, stabbed and strangled in her burning Manchester apartment.

Lapointe's case became a cause celebre as advocates for the mentally disabled and high-profile supporters such as writers Arthur Miller and William Styron rallied to prove his innocence.

State prosecutors say they're reviewing the ruling and haven't decided whether to appeal to the state Supreme Court.

About Me: SpecialistGrif - ADK= Gaming Community

Hello, I am SpecialistGrif, or Kevin. I have lots of experience as a team player. I say this because I have earned the rank of Eagle Scout in my local troop, provided friends with means for success at the cost of my own success, participated in a clan for almost three years, and DD'ed for many of my older siblings' events. I would like to be in your clan because I no longer function with the clan i was in previously on Xbox. I'm 16, live in Missouri, have a Letter in Band, a 1 Ranking medal for State, and a 2 Ranking medal for district solos. I have an academic letter, and a fairly high GPA. My hobbies are BF3, eating goldfish snack crackers, and sleeping. I also enjoy excercizing my analytic side by watching and reading peoples emotions and facial expressions to determine what that person if feeling and why. If you accept my application, you might get to know me more personally, and if you do, you'll be glad you did.
