ABSTRACT:
A parasailing assembly to suspend a rider from a parachute which is being towed by a boat, with the rider supported by one of various rider support structures, such as a body harness or a seat assembly. The parasailing assembly includes an improved connecting assembly that is structured to removably interconnect a rider support structure to the canopy of a parachute and preferably, includes two elongated straps, each having an interconnecting link disposed intermediate opposite ends thereof. Preferably, each strap of the connecting assembly has at least one end is connected to rider support structure, on opposite sides of the rider. In addition, either fixedly or removably attached to the interconnecting link is a base portion having a plurality of strap segments, each of which is connected, preferably but not necessarily in a fixed manner, to a separate grouping of riser line sets which extend up to the canopy of the parachute. As such, the plurality of riser line sets corresponding to one side of the rider are, in effect, connected together at a single fulcrum point along the length of a strap. One of the rider support structuring includes an improved aerial recliner and seat assembly, having a plurality of components which may be selectively detached from one another so as to facilitate a reduced volume packaging for shipping, and to permit expansion of the seat assembly to carry additional riders.
