TL;DR Summary

The husband of a woman who was killed while parasailing in Florida is speaking out for the first time to warn other families to stay safe during summer vacation. Supraja Alaparthi, 33, was killed and two children were injured after the three went parasailing while vacationing in the Florida Keys. The boat’s captain, Daniel Couch, was charged with manslaughter and multiple boating violations last September. Alaparthi's family has since filed a lawsuit against Couch, Couch's colleague, the boat company and the marina. The suit alleges the company and marina did not check weather reports, which should have prevented them from sailing, and failed to provide enough safety equipment, including life jackets on board, and didn’t properly bring the parasail down after losing control.
