The Jersey Shore lifeguard who was impaled by an umbrella in a freak accident is back at the beach — and itching to return to her stand.

Alex Kaus, 18, has been recovering since a gust of wind swept her off a lifeguard stand last month, sending the pointed end of a beach umbrella straight through her arm — narrowly avoiding her artery.

Kaus has returned to the boardwalk, where she checks for beach badges while her impressive wound heals, and takes comfort in being near the ocean with her coworkers almost three weeks after the shocking accident.

“Physically, I’m pretty good,” Kaus, who wears a red bandana over her left shoulder to cover the injury, told NJ.com.

“I’m definitely one of those people who’s just like, ‘It’s all good,’” the Robbinsville native said,

As a University of Wisconsin student, she awaits medical clearance to resume lifeguard duties, watching over swimmers, though no specific return date is set yet.

“I hope to have at least like two-ish weeks on the stand before I have to go back to school,” Kaus said hopefully. 

The lifeguard was standing on top of an Asbury Park lifeguard stand last month while setting up the umbrella to beat the overwhelming heat that ripped through the region.

It is her second year on the job, and she was following standard protocol as she set up the umbrella before the freak accident.

“Two inches to the left, it would have gone through her body,” Joe Bongiovanni, the head of Asbury Park’s beach operations, said after the incident.

“I was very lucky where it hit me because it missed every major blood vessel and it just went through my muscles,” Kaus recalled afterwards.
