Default Jet blast blows NZ woman to her death at SXM

I was wondering how long it will be before a fatality occurs after watching many a video of people putting themselves at risk:

A NEW Zealand woman has been tossed to her death by the jet blast from a plane at a Caribbean beach, according to media reports.
The 57-year-old tourist was blown away in Sint Maarten and seriously injured, dying a short time later, report a handful of media outlets.
Several people were apparently holding on to the airport fence by the Princess Juliana International Airport.

Isn't there a bar next door. I suspect alcohol is involved
