Beach Travel: Would You Still Dare to Bury Yourself in the Sand? An Old Island Fisherman Says Doing This Is Truly Terrifying
No matter the time, beach travel is the first choice for most friends. Even in the cold winter, there are still many travel enthusiasts who go to Western countries or Southeast Asian countries to experience beach life. With the continuous development of China's economy, outbound travel no longer seems to be a rare occurrence, and has even become very common. Sometimes outbound travel can even be cheaper than domestic travel. However, many friends who go to the beach have a habit of burying themselves or their family members in the sand. But an old island fisherman says that doing this is truly terrifying. What is the reason?
In fact, for many friends, burying themselves or their companions in the sand on the beach, and even using the sand to create shapes, is no longer surprising. I believe that everyone who has been to the beach has done something like this. But why is it dangerous? What kind of danger? This behavior poses great risks for adults, and the danger is even greater for children. Understanding this may help everyone.
I believe everyone knows about a Newtonian fluid. Actually, burying a person in the sand—if it's just on the surface and the sand is relatively dry, they can easily get out. But if you dig a hole and crawl in, it is quite dangerous. Even if the surface is dry, if the tide is rising and the water level has risen to the part of your body in contact with the sea level, the sand will mix with water, forming a relatively thick, viscous sand liquid. At that point, even if you use all your strength, you may not be able to break free. Isn't that terrifying?
Another point is the risk of suffocation. If you dig the hole deeper or if the sand covering the surface is too heavy, it is very possible to encounter a similar situation. This is especially important when playing with children; you must be extremely cautious. Children's physical condition and strength are certainly not as strong as adults'. So when playing with children on the beach, even if you want to experience the feeling of being covered in sand, do not dig a hole. Also, there should always be someone accompanying you. Additionally, do not cover the body with a very thick layer of sand. If you feel any discomfort in your body, be sure to express it immediately. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone not try such dangerous activities.
In fact, there are many activities to do with family and children on the beach. It's not necessary to experience such a dangerous one. Building a sandcastle on the beach, or having a game of beach volleyball, are both good choices. The most important meaning of travel is still happiness and creating wonderful memories with family. So, I suggest that everyone should not try any dangerous activities during the trip.
