5$\begingroup$ Asking for the definition of a word is off-topic on this site unless the word is related to engineering. Please give your question some context. What field does this term arise in? Where did you run into it? $\endgroup$– Chris MuellerMay 22, 2015 at 21:00

2$\begingroup$ I am sorry that your question has been closed. I googled for the word and didn't find any meaning. It seems to be some like a company name. Your question was closed probably because nobody understood the word here. Please don't take it seriously - I suggest to investigate a little bit after this, and then edit your partial info in your question. I voted to reopen your question but it will have probably more chance if you would extend it somehow. $\endgroup$– peterhMay 24, 2015 at 22:05

3$\begingroup$ @Air As the upvoted answer shows, the question was not unclear. Thus its close as an unclear question is not reasonable. $\endgroup$– peterhMay 26, 2015 at 18:17

If this was a quiz show and you had one guess, the safest offering may be 'The suspension system in a vintage Scorpion snowmobile", BUT
"Para rail" and "pararail" are 'made up' words usually used as product names and/or trademarks for a range of things by a range of manufacturers over a range of years.
Google's ngram viewer swears it does not know the word - usually a goodish sign that a term is a specialist one.
Here are some of the available "pararails":
Steyr AUG Rifle foward grip slide pararail - the slide rail mid picture.
Guess: Paratroop rail
Pararail suspension on a vintage scorpion snowmobile
Guess: Wazzat?
Same name same type of product different company.
Pararail rooftop fall protection system
Guess: Parapet rail
