Youngsters risk their lives jumping into stormy waters on the same weekend SIX people die off British coast

THIS shocking image shows youngsters jumping into treacherous water - on the same weekend SIX people lost their lives in stormy weather off the British coast.

The image - which shows two boys "dicing with death" in the sea - was taken on Friday evening  on a beach in north Devon.

One local said: "They were dicing with death. Other people around the coastlines of Britain were not so lucky and lost their lives. And they weren't 'having fun' like these youths."

One woman died after being pulled from the sea in the Channel Islands in the latest weekend coastal tragedy which has claimed a heavy loss of life around storm hit Britain.

The woman in her 30s and a man were swimming off Green beach on Jersey when they got into trouble in high tide and strong winds made sea conditions became treacherous.

It is the sixth death in British waters this weekend.

Yesterday a man died after being caught in 'dangerous waters' off a crowded beach near the exclusive Sandbanks resort at Poole, Dorset.

The man, believed to be in his fifties, was dragged from the sea by lifeguards after having been 'seen in difficulty' just before 3.30pm in a rip current outside the safe-swim area.

A spokesman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said winds of between force six and gale force eight struck the area, creating very rough seas.

In Newquay dad Rudy Bruynius was named by family as the man who died after being swept off rocks into the sea while on a family holiday.

He came into difficulty after being washed into the water by huge waves along with his two-year-old daughter and wife on Friday.

The family of five were on the rocks at South Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall, when a large wave swept them away.

Tragic Rudy, his two-year-old daughter Micayla and her mum, named as Cindy Bruynius, 37, were all pulled from the water by the emergency services.

The couple’s other two children managed to get back onto the rocks.

Today Cindy told friends and family Mckayla was “stable” and asked them to pray for her “miracle baby”.

She wrote: “Mckayla took well to the first ventilator that she originally was on for her to be mobile. She is stable and all vitals same during the transition.

“Pls continue to pray for my miracle baby…for her to pull through. As they can’t give me a certain indication of how much brain damage occurred during her time in the water.”

In Aberdeen a mum and her young son were killed after getting into difficulty while in the water.

Julie Walker and Lucas Walker, named today and said to live in the city, died in hospital after Lucas's big brother Samuel "very bravely" entered the water in a bid to rescue the pair.

Julie, 37, and six-year-old Lucas died in hospital following the horror at the busy seafront.

The tragic mum's teenage son reportedly begged his rescuer to go back and save his little brother who tragically died yesterday.

Shocked Martin Vicca said the lad, 13, was desperate to make sure his stricken sibling was getting help, despite his own terrifying ordeal in the icy waves.

Samuel was still in hospital while a 25-year-old woman and 28-year-old man were discharged today.

Martin said: “I spoke to someone who helped pull one of the kids from the water.

“He was asking the man to try and get to his brother.”

The waves must have crashed on to them and they lost their balance

Rachel McBain, eyewitness in Aberdeen

Mum Rachel McBain, 25, dialled 999 after seeing the horror unfold in front of her kids, aged two and six, and her eight-year-old sister.

She said: “It was obvious they were in trouble quickly. Someone ran over with one of those orange lifesavers.

“I called the emergency services but the police turned up while I was on the phone. They just ushered everyone away.”

She added: “The waves must have crashed on to them and they lost their balance.”

Rachel’s dad Mike told how she called him in distress at the height of the emergency.

He revealed: “She saw a woman get two kids into their trunks or whatever. The next thing they were all in the water and were getting dragged out to sea.”

Mike added: “My daughter shouted, ‘They’re not moving, they’re not moving’. There’s two bodies floating in the water and they’re not moving’.”

And in West Mersea a windsurfer died after he was pulled from the water  as 50mph winds battered the Essex coast.

Today he was named as David Baker from Colchester.

The 67-year-old was pulled from the sea yesterday and flown by air ambulance to Colchester Hospital six miles away but was dead by the time he arrived.

David Murr, chairman of the The Mersea Windsurfers & Kitesurfers club, paid tribute to Mr Baker, who windsurfed twice a week.

He said: "Dave was one of the original members, he has been windsurfing for 20 years, and was a very experienced sailor.

"His death and the circumstances surrounding it are very mysterious, we just don't know what happened.

"We think it may have been health related because he was a very capable windsurfer and knew how to handle himself on the water."

Mr Murr said Mr Baker's wife tragically learned of his death when she came to the beach looking for her husband and she was informed by police.

According to Mr Murr members of the club usually windsurf in sight of each other because they "look out for one and other" but it is unclear what happened on this occasion.

He added: "Dave was a very affable and friendly man, I put him on our committee because he was so good with people and had a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding windsurfing.

"We are all shocked, he will be sorely missed, he was a very friendly guy."
