If she was wearing body armor, this might have been non-fatal.
Maybe the usual suspects in Congress need to pass some mandates for beach wear.

Global warming is to blame.

Boy that was fate.. Imagine walking down a beach and get killed by a flying umbrella? That is weird.

Don’t mess with Mother Nature or Mary Poppins

A woman is killed in a freak accident and the thread is polluted with stupid wisecracks by juvenile jerkoffs. Pathetic.

Life is a series of (seemingly) random events and then you die.

I live in Virginia Beach and when a brisk wind kicks up suddenly those big beach service rental umbrellas can roll down the beach like a tumble weed. A few years ago, a tumbling beach umbrella impaled and killed some unfortunate bystander just out for a walk.

Sadly, it was not “Doctor” Jill.

May God comfort her family.

Why do you think it’s named Horry County?

[Deplorable American1776]

Prayers to her family. A few days ago, a man was struck by lightning while he was at the beach. The nearest lightning was 4 miles away and it was partly cloudy.

[Alas Babylon!]

Isn’t Biden down there?

With Hunter?

Maybe a little “blow” set it off?

I read this story earlier today. First thoughts? Someone will post this to FR and The Usual Suspects will get bent about it.

As usual, I was correct! :)

Anyone notice a cute little kid in the area?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Dreadful. RIP.

[HandyDandy]

Based on the title, the woman was struck by an umbrella and then killed?

[fortes fortuna juvat]

I’ve spent many hours on ocean beaches and observed that wind-driven umbrellas can definitely be life-threatening. And obviously the higher the wind the greater the danger.
