Max thought he could escape the sun’s rays when he visited Perth’s famed Cottesloe Beach because he was sitting under a CoolCabana the whole time, only leaving for about 10-15 minutes for a quick swim.

Despite being in the shade and putting sunscreen on his face and neck, he received horrific burns on his back, and told Yahoo Australia it’s not a mistake he will make again.

Max’s experience has unearthed a commonly held belief that shade equals sun protection.

Some cabana products have up to UPF 50+ ratings for those sitting underneath them, which means they are able to filter out 98% of UV rays. But Cancer Council Victoria said it’s a “myth” that you can escape being burnt if you’re sitting in the shade.

The organisation said, “It’s UV radiation - not sunlight - that damages your skin. Even though we can’t see or feel them, UV rays reflect off surfaces like sand, water and even grass… That’s why you should always use all five sun protection measures - clothing, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and shade - for the best protection.”
