I was involved in patching up the tourists that were involved both of the Fraser Island rollovers that occurred 2 weeks apart - both incidents had fatalities. Most the tourists involved, ended up with a helicopter ride to Qld's biggest hospital.
It was hard enough consoling their grief, let alone the grief of the deceased's families. And even worse when the police visited to lay charges over the deaths...
It bought me back to reality, on how dangerous sand driving can be, and how much more dangerous it can be, if sharing the beach and surrounding environment with drivers of poor or little 4 wheel and beach driving skills.
Beach fatalities are tragic, regardless of the circumstances. RIP.
