Yeah, two kids were digging a big hole on the beach near me a few weeks ago, and it collapsed on them, and killed them both. They would have been better off in the water, taking their chances with the sharks.
I’d rather see multiple comments giving the same safety advice if it means people are more likely to be able to see it.
Telling kids “you’re only allowed to dig a hole that’s at least as wide as it is deep” is likely to go over a lot better than “you’re not allowed to dig a deep hole because it’s unsafe”

Don’t dig holes on the beach.
Never dig a hole that’s deeper than wide. Then you should be safe.
Edit: the hive mind. I’ve just seen there’s a comment similar to mine by another user.

Doesn’t work that way with wet sand that can change density with water movement.
