Poor decision-making skills

Two kids, thousands of kilometers away from each other in California and the UK, dug holes in the sand, were buried alive and needed to be rescued. So I guess the lesson here is don't dig enormous trenches on the beach? A bit bizarre that essentially the same story happened a day apart on different continents. Teenagers are famous for making poor decisions - lord knows I am surprised sometimes that I made it to my 20s alive with no permanent brain damage (maybe some mild memory loss though). I'm glad these children are still alive.
