Woman skewered on beach by flying parasol

Last week, a horrific scene took place on a beach in Florida, USA.

A woman was sunbathing on the beach when she was seriously injured by an umbrella. 

According to Fox News, the parasol the victim had rented suddenly came loose and impaled her. The parasol remained firmly anchored to her leg. Emergency services eventually used a bolt cutter to free the woman. 

No details have yet been released about the victim's health condition. 

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 3,000 people are injured in parasol incidents in the United States each year.
