123 RF / DMITRII SHIPILOV

Two travel companies have been suspended over a parasailing accident in Khor Fakkan over the weekend which left six people injured.

Authorities in Sharjah took action on the firms for organising the trips despite high winds and unstable weather.

The parasailers were taken to hospital after the ropes which connected their parachutes to a boat snapped.

Police say it gave way because of strong winds and heavy rain.
