Two British children died and another was seriously injured while holidaying in Greece on Wednesday, after a family parasailing accident.

The trio were being towed by boat when a rope holding their parasailing parachute snapped, before the two brothers, 15 and 13, and their 15-year-old female cousin were found on rocks, the Greek coastguard said. One boy, 13, and the 15-year-old girl were killed while the surviving teenager is in a ‘serious condition with multiple injuries’ in a hospital in Rhodes. The group are said to have been found on rocks near Lindos, on the island of Rhodes. The incident happened on Wednesday at about noon local time and the two people connected with the speedboat have been arrested.A Greek coastguard spokesman said: ‘They were following a speedboat. The rope was cut.

The bodies of the teenagers were found by members of the coastguard and the fire department who had been contacted by the person who controlled the boat, according to the spokesman.He said: ‘The guy who controlled the speedboat and another person were arrested.’The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office confirmed it had been liaising with the family of the teenagers.

A FCDO spokesman said: ‘We are supporting the family of two British people following their death in Rhodes, and are in contact with the Greek authorities.’

The older I get the less I feel the need to do shit like this. It’s getting to the point when even walking down the stairs in the morning is risky business. I’m glad I’ve ticked most of my bucket list years ago.
