They have large signs warning people of the dangers of jet blast, featuring illustrations of people being blown away.

Jet blasts can produce air movement of well over 100 mph at PARTIAL power, even at almost 200 feet away. Would you stand out in a tornado? These folks are crazy. A small rock blown at you at that speed can be deadly.

While we were witnessing this spectical of stupidity, some regular vacationers on the island were telling us that someone did get killed by a blown rock to the head.
