The incident was located in Hori County, South Carolina. At about 12:40 noon that day, Tami Pero, 63, was lying on the beach to rest.

When the beach umbrella rolled in the air, she accidentally stabbed Peiro's chest. After the accident, she was immediately taken to the hospital, but she died unfortunately due to the overwhelming injury.

It is reported that the beach umbrella may not be fixed.

According to data from the US Consumer Products Safety Commission, about 3,000 accidents are stabbed by the beach umbrella every year.

If these beach umbrellas are not fixed, the large umbrella surface of the beach umbrella will be rolled up by strong winds, and the thorny umbrella end will bring danger to tourists.

In 2016, the Virginia woman Logoti Michel Bellk also died of a beach umbrella. At that time, the beach umbrella that was originally fixed on the beach was blown up by a strong wind, stabbing Bellk's body.

After Belk's death, in the same year, Virginia Democrat Tim Kane and Senator Mark Warner asked the Consumer Product Safety Committee to evaluate the safety of beach umbrellas and carry out safety movements.

At this meeting, at the request of the American Testing and Materials Association, they were discussing the discussion.
