Emma Hudson, 25, watched in horror as her father Glenn, 50, fell to the beach from 164 feet up after his safety harness reportedly snapped.
 
They had been sailing through the air together on a tandem flight being towed by a boat when tragedy struck at the Mediterranean resort of Side on Saturday.
 
Miss Hudson said: “We were up there for about 10 minutes and suddenly he dropped. I was right next to him. We'd been chatting happily and then he was gone.
 
“I was screaming but it didn't seem like I was screaming. It didn't seem to take long for him to hit the beach.
 
“It was all unreal. It took a few moments before I realised what was going on. Then it seemed to take forever to get me down. Dad was lying on the beach below and I was dangling above. I saw him fall, I saw him hit the beach and I saw him lying on the beach.”
 
Today Mr Hudson's wife Linda, 51, called for health and safety to be tightened up. Mrs Hudson, from Colchester, said: “I know my husband wouldn't want me to let him die for nothing. I won't let this go.”
 
Roof tiler Mr Hudson and his wife were on holiday with Emma, who works in sales, son Benn, 22, who is an electrician, and his girlfriend Jo Clarke. The Hudsons had been going to Turkey for about nine years and Mr Hudson had parasailed from the beach several times previously.
 
“I watched them for a little while and then I pulled a sunbed under a parasol to lie down. All of a sudden I heard my daughter screaming. She was running up the beach with all the parasailing gear and just said, dad's fallen'. My husband had bad legs and I thought she meant he had fallen out of the boat.
 
“We all lived for each other and now he is gone we are all so upset. None of us can quite believe he has really been taken from us.”
 
 
She said her solicitor told her the harness had been damaged. She said: “We have been told the webbing was perished and the material was sun-damaged.”
 
When she returned to the beach next day to lay flowers, she said, she was shocked that people were parasailing. She said she has been told by her solicitor that the company her husband used had ceased trading and that the owners were arrested. Turkish police have launched a criminal investigation but Mrs Hudson said she intends to take the matter further when the police inquiry finishes.
