She said the sharper end the umbrella shaft, which is used to plant it into the ground, impaled the woman in the chest.
As it turns out, the company that made lawn darts pivoting to beach umbrella manufacturing didn’t work out as well as imagined.

Obligatory warning: if you or anyone near you is impaled (small or large, doesn’t matter what) DO NOT remove the impaling object. In fact, don’t let it move at all.
The best you can do until trained and equipped help arrives is stabilize the impaling object relative to the wounded body part so it doesn’t do more harm. On a windy day with an umbrella, that’s going to be hard enough.

Any idea why suddenly beach umbrellas acting like lawn darts? Not like these things haven’t been around forever.
Tho maybe the media has decided it’s the “Summer of the Beach Umbrella,” by covering this?
BTW, the Mayor of Amity is responding as you might guess he would:
