In 2016, a woman living in China was in a motorcycle accident and died. But it wasn't the motorcycle impact that killed her - it was an airborne umbrella<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around the same time, across the world at Virginia Beach<\/a>, another woman was hit by an umbrella caught in the air. She later died from cardiac arrest after the umbrella hit her in the torso. The woman's daughter said the beach was always her mother's favorite place to be.<\/p>
