    Holy Shit South Carolina woman killed by flying umbrella at the beach

    WRAL.com




    GARDEN CITY, S.C. — A woman was killed Wednesday after being impaled by a beach umbrella in Garden City.

    Local officials said Tammy Perreault, 63, of Surfside, was struck by a beach umbrella that was carried by the wind.

    Suffering from chest trauma, she was taken to a local emergency room where she succumbed to her injuries only an hour later.

    It’s not unheard of for beach umbrellas to cause serious injuries or death.

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that there were roughly 2,800 unconfirmed beach umbrella-related injuries between 2010 to 2018.

    I heard this on the news this week. Just a few years ago, I was at Myrtle Beach with my cousin and he wasn't allowed to use his beach umbrellas because they have strict rules and ban some because of situations like this possibly happening.
