"Neff, I've had it with our underwriters approving umbrella policies with double indemnity provisions without checking out the buyers! This one sounds fishy! This is no accident, Neff!"

The woman, who was visiting the beach from Pennsylvania, was in stable condition Monday, according to Jessica Waters, the spokeswoman.
The incident occurred about 3:30 p.m., on the beach near 54th Street in the popular resort town, after an umbrella was apparently uprooted and swept away by a gust of wind.
“Witnesses said one gust lifted the umbrella,” Waters said.
She said the sharper end of the umbrella shaft, which is used to plant it into the ground, impaled the woman in the chest. It was not clear how deep a wound it caused. Waters said paramedics cut off part of the shaft to facilitate transportation to a hospital. The woman was said to be conscious after the incident.

I hate myself for laughing at that.
Umbrellas should have ankle straps like surf boards

I have seen a herd of similar umbrellas ripping down a beach in high wind. It was laughable and frightening at the same time.
Same here.
I recall years ago, a Midshipman at the Naval Academy was impaled by a javelin. This was at a track and it hit him in the heart.
He survived.
The first time I saw one of those Umbrellas I knew this would happen , same goes for Lawn Darts ,ouch

I hate when that happens.

This pig deserves to be impaled.

Will this be the next J.K. Simmons Farmer's Insurance ad?
Had a similar event at the Air Force Academy, summer of '69. He also survived.
Lady to paramedics, "Whatever you do. Don't. Push. The button!"
That may have been the one I was thinking of. May have gotten confused.
Was Green Peace on the scene?
