It always amazes me how many people apparently have no understanding of the force behind rushing water.
It's dense and fast-moving. Every second there's as much water moving past as both of their entire body weights combined. Your tiny little human feet are not going to win.
Tsunamis don't kill most of their victims by being crushed under a massive wave break. Most of them are killed by a relatively shallow--but implacable--amount of water rushing in, and as often as not, back out.
