Because swimming in big waves is a blast? In other news 60+ people climb mountains, race motor cars and do other risky stuff.

I spend a lot of time in the mountains and in and on the water, your point doesn't really work, its sounds like a few old duffers went in the see because they always do, and it turned out to be a big mistake, I highly doubt they were adventurers or risk takers

I spent a lot of time on the beaches around Agde/Sete/Marseillan in my younger years.

Virtually tideless Med you’d think would be OK - but wicked undertows often on the calmest of days. Drownings not unusual sadly.
