Digging Holes at the Beach Can Get You in Serious Trouble
Digging holes in the sand might seem like harmless fun, but it can actually be really dangerous if the hole is deep. If the sand collapses on someone, it's super hard to escape because sand is heavy and dense. Research even shows that more people die from being trapped and suffocating in sand than from shark attacks! Unlike snow, which is lighter and gives you a chance to make an air pocket if you're trapped, sand doesn't allow that. Once it falls on you, it’s nearly impossible to move. So next time you're at the beach, be careful with those deep holes!
