Fox News Digital previously reported on another weather-related accident in which a New Jersey lifeguard was impaled by a beach umbrella that became airborne during windy conditions.
The incident occurred at Asbury Park's 3rd Avenue Beach in June 2025. First responders found the woman conscious and alert after an umbrella stake pierced her shoulder.
Fire officials later said the lifeguard remained awake throughout the ordeal and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The incident prompted renewed warnings about securing outdoor equipment during windy conditions, particularly at beaches and other open-air recreation areas.
