Fact is more people in the Nei are either injured or killed in water related accidents than other types of events. Drowning being the main accident. Neck injuries are also common at certain beaches.

Other times people turn their back on the ocean, wave takes them out. Others stand over blowholes and get sucked in. 

Failing to be aware of the area, use some basic common sense.
