A 19-year-old model from Serbia died after falling during a parasailing shoot in Montenegro.
Tijana Radonjic had reportedly been hired to film a promotional video for a tourism company in Budva, a popular coastal resort. The video was meant to show her parasailing above the Adriatic Sea while being towed by a speedboat.
Witnesses said she appeared calm before takeoff and had received basic safety instructions. However, while in the air, she seemed to panic. Video footage shows her removing parts of her safety equipment and attempting to free herself from the harness.
She fell from a height of around 50 metres into the sea. Emergency crews recovered her and transported her to shore, but she was pronounced dead.
Authorities are investigating the incident, including checks on the equipment and safety procedures. Officials have not confirmed the exact cause of the fall. The company involved said it is cooperating with investigators and expressed condolences to the family.
Tijana’s family has rejected suggestions that she intended to harm herself. Friends and relatives have shared tributes online, remembering her as kind and full of life.
