During a strong storm on the Cantabrian coast of Spain, a "brave" woman defying mother nature decided that was the best time for a swim and a dance in front of a strong upcoming wave.

As expected, the huge wave ended up dragging her several meters away under the eyes of her friends and terrified witnesses form the Sardinero beach in Santander. Her taunting turned into fear as she was struggling to stay above the surface.

Despite official statements concerning the storm and public warnings asking people not to adventure into the water during this weather, the young woman and her two other friends decided to go for a swim.

At least her companions were smart enough to run from the wave, and not defy it with a dance, but how could she have become an Internet sensation without this stunt?
