Apparently they’re going to need a bigger sign to account for 2025…

Cigarettes have warning statements about cancer, yet people still smoke. Darwin was right.

It's okay. He came in from the otherside, so he didn't go past the sign. He is perfectly safe.

u/Stumbling2Truth 6h ago
I swear I did! Does it not work in the comments of the main post? Should I edit somehow?

u/SoberOutdoorsman 1¤ 6h ago
I believe you, and I’m not sure. Try and edit it, see if it works. Hahaha.

They in a safer spot than I thought

The problem here is likely flash flooding from a dam release upstream. It rapidly floods the area with little warning.
There isn’t really a safer spot.

I am aware of that for sure but my fear of heights was talking 😂 I was expecting to see someone in a tree or up higher.

Wailuku River doesn’t have a dam. The problem here is natural flooding, when it rains the multiple waterfalls get crazy and ppl are stupid.

If you look to the right from this spot, there’s a series of big holes in the rocks. If you fell into the water when the river is running, you are absolutely dead meat. And the water does come up, that’s in Hilo, Hawaii.

>you are absolutely dead meat
I used to say this all the time while chasing my brother for something or another. He’d come back with, that’s the only kind of meat there is…

Notice how little vegetation there is in the area where the person is and around it? When it rains up stream that whole area is covered. One of the waterfalls in the Wailuku River is named ‘Boiling Pots’, for good reason.

Well, at least this guy will remove himself from the gene pool before long.
Our family still ribs one of my older brothers for trying to swim the Pipeline on a trip to Hawaii. He started out at one end of the beach, came flopping out of the ocean at the far end. Never managed to get more than maybe 15-20' out and still literally had to fight for his life.
When places that depend on tourism for their economy actually put up signs like this, you should believe them.

I went down the rabbit hole to find out about the sign. Apparently there’s a strong enough underwater current on non rainy days that can drown even the most experienced swimmers.
