Vacations Are Better When You Survive Them

A big public safety campaign in Australia is targeting foreign visitors who have an unfortunate tendency to drown while swimming on vacation there. With only 4% of the coastline patrolled by lifeguards, and rip currents a fact of life in that part of the ocean, a lot of people get caught and go down, and the campaign reminds tourists to stay between the red and yellow flags and to be careful in the water. Oh, yeah, they have sharks around there, too. Maybe you should just wade a little. (Sky News)
