This is unbelievable, a study that says that holes made from sand castles have accounted for more fatalities in the US than shark attacks.

Well, to be perfectly frank nothing like this surprises me anymore because we now seem to live in a world where very few people take resposibility for their own safety.Consequently they fail to teach their own children the right and wrongs of every day life and so the spiral will continue I suppose.
It just seems to me that from my own everyday observations that COMMON SENSE is just not all that common anymore, indeed common sense has virtually been replaced by a plethora of Health and Safety instructions!! It seems we've got to the stage where so many are unable to think for themselves WE HAVE TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO IN CONSTANT BREIFINGS - how sad.
