A lifeguard was impaled by a beach umbrella Wednesday morning at Asbury Park Beach in New Jersey. According to chief of the Asbury Park Fire Department, the 6-foot long umbrella went into the young woman’s left shoulder and came out through her back.

A female lifeguard was impaled so deeply with a beach umbrella at the Jersey Shore that it had to be cut into smaller pieces with a saw before she could be taken to the hospital, officials said.
