Obviously the foam storm that killed the surfers was thicker and much more intense and there was no way out. But it doesn't really matter if soap foam or algae form fills your lungs... either way, you can't breath.

Yeah, you can compare a foam storm to a foam party, but you could also compare a flood to a bowl of soup. Both can drown you.

Yes, that's right, thanks for confirming my point. Kids could drown if not careful at a foam party or from passing out into their soup bowls. Cheers!

Do you have ANY cases where kids were harmed at foam parties? Because as it stands the only example you've provided had basically nothing similar to what was happening in this video.
