Its a bit like the dolts being taken by crocodiles . Vast majority occur because people are just plain stupid! Locals get too blasé, tourists ignore the warning signs and many others know the risks but take a chance anyway. Gets a crocodile a bad name! Of course there are those that think crocs are vegetarian and it is safe to swim in Northern waters...........
MAYBE WE WILL HAVE TO ERECT SIGNS SIGNS AT EVERY PUBLIC BEACH WARNING PEOPLE THAT THERE IS WATER AHEAD....OBVIOUSLY SOME DRIVERS CANT SEE IT!!
