Parasailing Lawsuit
A lawsuit has been filed by the husband of a woman who plummeted to her death while parasailing in Florida last August.
Horrible story here. While vacationing, the husband and wife took a parasailing excursion offered at the resort where they were staying. Riding tandem, the husband was strapped into his own harness. He watched as his wife slipped free and feel the equivalent of 20 stories.

A recently published report by Citron Research has identified over 80 deaths associated with da Vinci robotic surgery. Those deaths are in addition to the thousands of serious injuries related to the system.According to the report, over 4,600 adverse events were reported to the FDA.
Billed as less invasive than standard surgery, Intuitive Surgical, the da Vinci manufacturer, stated that “you can have major surgery with only a few tiny incisions. It was said that a surgeon could operate with better visualization, precision, dexterity, and control than by using traditional surgical approaches.” But at what cost?
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone in the Delmarva area, or anyone anywhere for that matter, that doesn’t recognize the names Yeardley Love or George Huguely.
In case you’ve had your head in the sand and haven’t heard these names, the story here is tragic. Yeardley Love was a popular and beautiful University of Virginia lacrosse player, whose was killed in an awful and vicious manner. Love’s former boyfriend, George Huguely, was convicted of her death and is currently awaiting sentencing.
It is being reported that Yeardley Love’s family has filed a lawsuit against George Huguely, and is asking for $29.45 million dollars in compensatory damages, with another $1 million being sought in punitive damages. The lawsuit states that Huguely “acted with such indifference to Love that his conduct constituted an utter disregard of caution amounting to a complete neglect of safety for Love.” Moreover, the suit said that Huguely “was aware, or should have been aware’ that Love was severely injured after the physical altercation that would result in her death.” The suit names Love’s sisters as beneficiaries of her estate.
