Husband of parasailing victim shares warning to others.

The husband of a woman who died in a parasailing accident on the Florida Keys last year has spoken out about the tragedy. Srinivasrao Alaparthi's wife, Supraja Alaparthi, was killed when the parasail she was in with their son and nephew crashed into the Old Seven Mile Bridge. The boat captain, Daniel Gavin Couch, has been charged with manslaughter and breaches of commercial parasailing laws. Alaparthi is now suing the boat captain, his colleague, the boat company, and the marina over the death of his wife. He alleges they did not check weather reports, failed to provide enough safety equipment, and did not properly bring down the parasail after losing control.
