A gust of wind picked up a beach umbrella and carried it far enough to have it impale a woman's leg, sending her to the hospital in Maryland.
The paramedics had to saw off part of the offending object in order to move her.
Will the Obama administration ban beach umbrellas now?

Stupidity leads to more stupidity in Long Beach
Stupid:
A man who doesn't know how to swim still enters the water far enough to be swept out farther by a large wave.
More stupid:
The Beach patrol rushes to the scene and runs over a sun bather, breaking his ribs and spine.
Minor stupid:
His sister claims it was a "tidal wave" that swept him out.
Epilogue stupid:
One of the commentors claims the police raced across the beach to the second injury scene at a dangerous pace, fishtailing on the way.
