DO NOT DIG HOLES DEEPER THEN YOUR KNEES ON
THE BEACH
Sand can collapse and create an extremely dangerous
situation!
In recent years this serious danger has been
widely documented throughout the world and was even featured in the
New England Journal of Medicine. Victims typically become completely
buried in the sand when the walls of the hole unexpectedly collapse,
leaving virtually no evidence of the hole or the location of the
victim. Parents are often concerned about lesser dangers such as sea
life in the ocean but are often unaware of the possibility of a
potentially deadly situation on dry land when digging a hole in the
sand.
Besides the potential for suffocation, holes create a
potential danger for those people responsible to maintain and patrol
the beach throughout the night. Remember, if you dig it, fill it in.
Located at the Brooklyn Avenue Bay Beach.
