[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my gosh - this is my worst nightmare. My kids LOVE to bury themselves and inanimate objects at the beach. They've never tried to bury their faces or go super deep as far as I know, but this has spooked me into being super vigilant about this now.

Where were the parents who should have been watching what they were doing?  I didn't know about the instability of beach sand but I definitely know that you do not stand by while your children are attempting to bury themselves!  [/quote]
It was a freak accident.[/quote]

No, this is a known, repeatable hazard.[/quote]

For many of us it's not a commonly known hazard. Please stop.[/quote]

+1 I’m sure if these parents knew their children were digging themselves an actual GRAVE they would have stopped them.[/quote]

It's common freaking sense. Do you build a house on sand? No. Are you allowed to walk on dunes? No. It  doesn't take a genius to understand why.[/quote]

You're not helping. That's not why you're not allowed to walk on dunes.[/quote]

What about Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. I took my kid there as a toddler at Michigander family’s insistence. Kid had a great time and I had no idea it was a death trap. I was afraid of steep falls, but not sand collapse. [/quote]

Yeah, read the link a few posts up that talks about dune collapses.  [/quote]
