AlexRich Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Parasail is one thing, but who would bungee jump in Thailand? You just couldn’t trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losername Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 "Any parasail operators who are found to repeatedly have unsafe equipment stood to have their operator’s license revoked." How on earth can an operator with unsafe equipment be allowed to retain an operator's licence? They can throw people up in the air "repeatedly" with unsafe equipment.

Lupatria Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Even in the army they don't trust these guys. That explains why every "official" precautionally buys the popular jumper badge at the tailor shop, instead of jumping from a 12m high tower on a rubber rope.

I served twenty years in a military uniform and laugh at the trinkets, bobbles and wings that adorn so many costumes hereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
