10:00 AM PT -- Sint Maarten police tell us government and airport officials will be meeting to discuss new safety measures. Currently it's not illegal to stand at that fence at the end of the runway, but with this fatality -- the first ever -- we're told officials will consider making changes.

A New Zealand tourist in Sint Maarten died during a thrill-seeking escapade as she tried to withstand the blast of a jet engine.

The scene was horrifying ... people in Sint Maarten tell TMZ, the woman was hanging on to a fence at the edge of the runway, while an airliner revved its engines before rolling down the runway for takeoff.

We're told she couldn't hold on to the fence and was catapulted backward into a concrete barrier on the edge of the beach.

People on scene tried in vain to resuscitate her but it appears she died on impact.

A similar incident occurred in 2012 when a woman was blown into the same barrier, but she survived.

There are signs warning people not to stand in the pathway of the jet, but it has become one of the most popular things to do in Sint Maarten.

you havent been? :dwillhuh:
Man it's bytches(from everywhere europe,south american,central america, US, africa, asia)......
Nightclubs,bars, casinos......It's cool on that party tip scene. But it's way too commercial if you're trying to get the feel of an island or simply looking for down time to rest..
Now where my fam is from(Anguilla) which is a 20-30 minute ferry away. It's a lot more exclusive, secluded, and has the traditional island feel. Without all the tourists and commercial aspect.....

Either way both islands offer a good time....

Yeah I did that when I was there, it's quite nuts,

If you stand by the beach you do get blown away.....into the beach or the water

It took all my strength to not get blown into the water, I remember seeing this lady literally rolling on the beach, but overall it's safe if you stay on the beach

The problem is when people walk across the road and hang on to the actual fence, which is what this chick did, some people do it but you gotta be ready for it, the blast is no joke
