Tourist injured in parasailing accident still critical June 13th, 2017, reports Antonis Michael. Cyprus Tourist injured in parasailing accident still critical.

The 35-year-old British tourist who was seriously injured in a parasailing accident in Paphos last week is still in critical condition and intubated at the Nicosia General Hospital, police told the Cyprus Mail on Tuesday.

The accident happened on June 6 at around 12.45pm when two British tourists, a 35-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman who had rented a boat to go parasailing, were struck by a metal bar, which had broken off the boat.

The man was rushed to Nicosia general hospital in critical condition after he suffered a brain haemorrhage and was diagnosed with a severe neck injury, jaw and rib fractures.
The 25-year-old woman has a fractured nose and cheek injury. Her condition was not life threatening and she was admitted to Paphos general hospital mainly as a precaution.

Two men were arrested and remanded for three days, the 49-year-old owner of the water sports rental which the tourists used and a 34-year-old employee who operated the boat.
After their three-day remand, the two men were charged with negligent and reckless actions.

Makes you wonder if half of these owners are licensed and insured for this type of activity, hope they make a full recovery

What a terrible accident, I hope he makes a full recovery.
When we had our boat and went to get insurance we were told that most Cypriots with boats never bothered so it would not surprise me if the usual safe guards insurance licenses etc were not in place.
Health and safety would have a hay day over here.
