Dad issues shocking warning about kids digging holes on the beach and says all parents need to be aware of the dangers
Writing on the coastguard’s social media page, they said: "Sand hole collapses are rare but can be lethal if you become trapped in one.
"There’s nothing wrong with digging holes at the beach and filling them with water for your kids to play in. "But if you dig a hole so deep that your head is barely poking out or burrow into a sand dune then you could be putting your life at risk. "If it’s taken you three hours to dig your hole – that’s how long, it might take someone to dig you out."The wet harder sand that you dig out will dry out in the sun making it lose and the deeper you dig the more danger there is of the hole collapsing inwards and potentially trapping you inside."
People were quick to respond to Shawn's video, and many agreed it was a dangerous activity to do and thanked him for sharing the warning.Another commented: "I always stop people from doing that, thank you!"
