Only one way to find out--- have a go. Parasails of all sorts are
remarkably safe.

I do find flying in an ultralight aircraft with no floor and nothing
but the rudder pedals beneath and ahead (pusher engine in back) to
be a bit daunting. Especially when it comes time to land and I'm
compelled to point the draggy little thing vary radically DOWN in
order to keep it flying. The paradox of having to fly oneself AT
the ground in order to avoid hitting same is rather difficult to
overcome.
