TWO teens who suffered brain damage when their parasail snapped free sending them soaring through the air have received a settlement.

Alexis Fairchild and Sidney Good were both 17 when they decided to do a tandem parasail while on holiday in Panama City, Florida, on July 1, 2013.

However strong winds saw the tow line disconnect from the boat sending the girls flying through the air. They slammed into the 13th floor of an apartment building and then crashed in a parking lot.

The shocking ordeal was captured on camera but horrified onlookers. The girls were left in a critical condition but have since graduated high school. However they can only read at a primary school level.

Ms Good's lawyers said the settlement would mean both girls would live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"The girls are taken care of as well as money can take care of them and they have reasonable futures ahead of them," lawyer Wes Pittman said.

Ms Fairchild underwent multiple spinal surgeries, while Ms Good suffers from visual problems that cannot be cured, WJHG reports.

"She has very narrow tunnel vision and also double vision that is offset. Not just two images but one is dropped below the other and surgery has failed to correct that it simply can't be done," Mr Pittman said.

Ms Good has started cosmetology school, while Ms Fairchild is hoping to start college soon.

The girls, who were best friends since kindergarten, are reportedly no longer close friends although neither has really revealed why.
