Another instagram photo shoot turned deadly “accident”.
I may stand corrected. Check the video posted by sit-rep.
It’s clear that she, and presumably her boyfriend, had moved down from the safe viewing area out to a point of rocks. From the video, it’s apparent that there was a safe beach in the cove, with waves crashing on the point and a viewing area above the point.
Anyhow, the video seems to show her sitting, then caught by a wave, and then the mat floating in the water. Maybe the mat was tossed back up onto the rocks by another wave.
She had still ignored the safety warnings, and she learned the hard way that danger signs get posted for a reason. It’s like people who slip through the barriers to get closer to the edge of the Grand Canyon.
