Six people were hurt in a parasailing accident in Khor Fakkan in Sharjah as stormy conditions hit the emirate over the weekend.
Fierce winds snapped the ropes connecting their three parachutes to a boat, sending them crashing into the waters below.
Sharjah Police said the incident took place at about 2pm on Friday.
Those hurt, who police said were from Asia without specifying their exact nationality, age or gender, were taken to hospital for treatment for injuries ranging from minor to moderate.
