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.

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
Mane points for safe home colouring
- Natural and grey hair takes colour differently than chemically treated hair
- Taking hair from a dark to a light colour should involve a slow transition through warmer stages of colour
- When choosing a colour (especially a lighter tone), allow for a natural lift of warmth
- Most modern hair colours are technique-based, in that they require a confident hand and taught skills
- If you decide to be brave and go for it, seek professional advice and use a semi-permanent colour
