But there is another natural hazard that takes more lives in an average year in the United States than any of those--rip currents. Each year in American waters, rip currents pull about 100 panicked swimmers to their deaths. According to the United States Lifesaving Association, lifeguards pull out at least 70,000 Americans from the surf each year, 80 percent from rip currents." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article describes how rip currents form and explains what swimmers should do if they are caught in one. | ||
