A Gujarat couple had a narrow escape as the parachute rope snapped while they were in a parasailing trip in Diu. Ajit Kathad and his wife Sarala Kathadent went parasailing on the beach off the Una coast of Gujarat on Sunday. The rope of their parachute tied to the powerboat that was dragging it, snapped suddenly when they reached the middle of the sea. As a result, the newly-wed fell straight into the sea.

However, the lucky couple was not harmed and they were rescued by the life guards. They were wearing life jackets. It turned a life saver for them.Ajit Kathad’s elder brother Rakesh Dharecha, was also there in the scene. He was the one who captured the video of the couple’s adventurous parasailing trip.
“I was recording the video and had no idea what to do when the rope broke. I could see my brother and sister-in-law falling from a great height, and I never felt so helpless as I did at that moment,” TOI quoted Rakesh as saying.

The video of the accident was shared on Twitter by an account named Rahul Dharecha . After tweeting the video he asked the authorities to take necessary action against the people responsible for parasailing at the beach.

“While we remained afloat thanks to our life jackets, my wife was in a state of shock and couldn’t speak for a few minutes. We requested help from the powerboat to which our parachute was anchored but they told us the lifeguards would save us. Around five minutes later, the lifeguards came on another powerboat and rescued us,” Ajit told The Indian Express.
