The airport on one of the Caribbean’s smallest islands, St Martin, backs directly on to a beach where some adventurous thrillseeking tourists hang on to the fence as jets take off.
However, in this case the girl is thrown headfirst into a concrete wall by the powerful engines of the plane.

Warning signs are clearly visible along the fence, but were ignored. When bystanders at Malo Beach reached the girl she was fortunately still conscious.
The island is notorious for an extremely short runway next to the beach which incoming and outgoing planes skim just over the heads of sunbathers.
See the shocking video below.
