So you're sunbathing on a beach in northern Germany when the wind picks up.  Turns out, you were just inches away from certain death.  That's what happened when 52-year-old Juergen Drucker attempted to land his Piper PA-28-181 Archer II.

Drucker came in way too low, took out a portion of a fence, and landed on sand before finally making it to the runway.  Had that sunbather been standing or even sitting up at the time, things would have turned out much, much different.  The video doesn't show it, but I'm sure there is a giant brown stain on the sand where the sunbathing man lay.
