Boston.com - Relentless undertows, stinging jellyfish -- the beach can be a dangerous place. Now a Harvard medical resident wants sunbathers to pay attention to yet another threat: collapsing sand holes that he says have killed dozens of young people in the past two decades, several of them in New England. The victim, usually a boy, remains submerged for several minutes as bystanders panic and rescuers, afraid to use a shovel because they might hit the person, struggle to reach them by hand.

Now I’m not a monster.  I don’t like making fun of people dying and shit like that.   But sorry if I’m not shaking in my boots about getting killed in a freak sand castle accident.  Yeah, I know males are more susceptible to this disease, but I refuse to be intimidated.   Bottomline is I’m not changing my beach behavior for anything or anybody.   If that means I die by falling into a former sand castle hole than so be it.  You live by the sword you die by the sword.
