    While not being crass or insensitive, after handling liability claims for over 30 years, what do people not understand about this statement: “Signs at the beach prohibit swimming and warn of dangerous rip currents.” Signs are posted as a WARNING – DO NOT GO INTO THE WATER. I hate that people died but why is it the city’s fault?

      They weren’t swimming!

      “Brad Smith was walking in ankle-deep water at the beach with his daughter when the sand collapsed, plunging them and a friend into the swirling waters. A passer-by on a personal watercraft rescued the girl, who was being held above the waves by her father before he drowned.

      Three years earlier, Watkins, 27, and Hart, 15, were walking along the water’s edge when the sand gave way beneath them, plunging them into the swirling waters of the inlet.
