Parasail Crash Pack
Injuries happen. Over time, people’s account of the story can change. Be sure to document this immediately with the WSIA’s Injured Party Statement, Incident Report Form and Witness Statement forms available for members through our web site.
Event Management & Resource Guide
If you’re planning on hosting an event, this resource is like The Bible. This members-only resource includes considerations for legal and insurance, communications and emergency planning, staffing advice, sanctioning recommendations, and more.
Safety Videos
These modern, high-quality animated videos are the perfect tutorial to show all riders, and serves as a staple in your risk management profile. Request a DVD or download online with your membership.
ASTM Safety Standards
Join our Parasail Committee to learn more about the ASTM Standard Practices for Parasail. For the latest version of the Standard and to participate in future voting and updates to the standards, we encourage our Parasail members to also join the ASTM.
Know Your Ropes Flyer
A series of parasail incidents from 2006-2013 inspired the U.S. Coast Guard to identify common factors and help prevent future incidents and casualties. Most fatalities and injuries are due to rope failure. WSIA members can download this flyer to help remind your staff of proper rope management techniques.
Member Stickers & Certificate
Flaunt your WSIA status with stickers and certificate of your WSIA membership provided annually.

Marine Safety Alerts
