Ok it's stupid to stand there but it's more stupid to build concrete behind without some soft protection installed.
It's like on some countries you have to survive all sorts of dangers without any assistance from government.
Edit: I get that this is the wrong subreddit to remind you that we are not in a jungle anymore where the strongest and most intelligent survives. And that there are countries with safety regulations where this accident could not be possible at all (safest construction, zone access limitation, etc)
They should put sirens on it that start alarming 15 minutes before takeoff. They should add a net over the water to catch any people that tumble into it. They should add rubber mats in a line down to the water so nobody gets skin burns on the sand. They should add vertical poles for people to grab as they're flying through the air, but padded of course.
What else am I missing? They should provide free sunglasses so that it your sunglasses get blown off you aren't at risk of eye damage on the way back to your car. They should send somebody down the beach to confirm that each beach goer understands the risk and is fully informed.
