We would never let something like this happen in the Midwest.
There are a lot fewer examples of someone being swept out to sea from the Midwest. Maybe Japan should learn some lessons.
Ya gotta watch out for those lakes tho
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead / When the skies of November turn gloomy
They outlawed riptides in Midwestern lakes back in the 1870s
Ask yes, the Cedar Point tragedy of 1869. 27 died, including a Habsburg and two Rockefellers. 42 others were missing and presumed dead. The Navy spent three months subduing the lake by beating it with oars. It was the fastest legislation passed since the DC Forest Incident in 1831

Kind of hard without oceans in the midwest
But at the same time though, we have the lakes!
