Just wanted to let you guys know that a man died while doing the parasiling and he was on our cruise Carnival Imagination. We sailed from 02/01 to 02/05.

 

A very tragic incident and sorry scene to see family crying on the streets of cozumel.

Guys Its true. I was there. Give me some time, I have pictures of that location.

 

We were the first one to inform Carnival and the family of the deceased.

I never said I doubted you. Only that the lack of information is odd.

How were you first to inform the family, tripadvisor said his family was on the boat?

[uwishufish]

Were you first to inform the policia too?

[nimbupani]

How were you first to inform the family, tripadvisor said his family was on the boat?

 

Family was not on the boat. Only his 1 daughter (middle) and his friend were on the boat.

 

Family of deceased (wife + 2 kids) were waiting on ferry pier.

Family of friend (wife + 2 kids) were also waiting on the pier.

 

No we didn't inform the police as the police and medic were informed from the boat itself.

 

Incident happened at around 5:00 and Carnival reacted at 7:30 PM. We informed on the emergency number given on Carnival Capers. Carnival Imagination security team acknowledge that there local agent(emergency no on Capers is of this agent) goofed up in Cozumel.

A real tragic story. My heart goes out to the family.

 

I am going to cozumel in March and was thinking about para sailing. But i am nervous.

[ntengwall]

What was the cause of death? Was it a drowning or heart attack or something? So very sad :(

That article has been removed. I'm assuming this is a hoax thread.

[ntengwall]

No, not a hoax. I did a search and found numerous articles about it. Here is one of them:

there is risk with anything. just like the ship getting hit by the wave. you never know when there will be a sudden accident and you can die. thousands of people para sail daily with no issues. you still have a bigger risk getting hit by a drunk driver on the way to the pier
