The investigation into the tragic incident in which an 8-year-old child died after falling from a parasailing attraction near the beach in Nesebar is in full swing. According to available information, the child was with their mother at a height of nearly 50 meters when the fatal incident occurred.
According to unofficial data, the cause of the tragedy was a broken harness that attached the child to the parachute. As a result, the child fell from a great height while their mother remained in the air. The tragic event raised serious questions about the safety of attractions on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and the control over them.
The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of investigators from the District Prosecutor's Office in Burgas, who have taken over the case. As part of the investigation, three people related to the operation of the attraction were detained by the police yesterday. This detention is a standard procedure in such cases, aiming to clarify all circumstances and establish any potential guilt.
An official statement was made by "Maritime Administration", which is responsible for controlling the vessel that towed the parachute. They announced that the boat had passed a full inspection just a month ago. It had all the necessary permits and insurance to carry out the activity.
However, the question of institutional responsibility regarding the safety of the equipment itself, from which the child fell, remains unclear. It has not yet been specified which institution is responsible for controlling the parachute system and its condition. This lack of clarity highlights potential gaps in the regulations and control mechanisms that could have contributed to the tragedy. The investigation is expected to shed more light on these issues and determine if anyone is to blame for the fatal outcome of the incident.
