This poor woman - to go through that awful, horrifying experience and then, to top it all, fall off the pier as well. Terrible.

She was very unlucky as she never hurt herself on the other two 'falls' she made.

It would be nice to have background detail to this story, way too many unanswered questions as it stands - for instance is the pier unsafe and her fall was not actually her fault ?
