I see this as a major problem with America, nobody wants to be responsible for their own actions. In this case- It's NATURE!! Wake up and RESPECT IT🤙🏼🌴
Nature is erratic and stones do crumble and that is the beauty. Should everything be enveloped in a Disneyland-like railing with warning signs every 10'?? I'm truly sorry for their loss but that is nature and we hike at our risk.
Yes, saftey measures. Like telling hickerz not to go where they shouldn't go. Its a trail up a cliff of a mountain. Not a sidewalk. U go up there u better know how to walk straight.
They should sue the state. That trail is in such poor condition. Has been for years, and years. Yet the state doesn't tell people how dangerous it is. Don't let the state sweet talk you into just "accepting" it. Make them pay. The state knew it was not safe. That is why they are spending tons of money to "try" and make it safer. If it is a state park trail, does it comply with ADA regulations??? Is it ADA accessible???? Looks like a multi million suite to me.
U can't blame no one ,, we do it everyday for all our faults,, we walk into this World with no guarantees * love the one you're with ,, life can change in an instant,, ✝️❗
how close was he to the edge? its a mountain not a sidewalk..hikers know their own limitation and the risk before climbing. stay on the bottom if YOU feel its not safe.
People shouldn't be going out if they are not fit for the activity. It is dangerous even for the experienced. You should be more knowlegable and prepared. This is a big problem caused by tourists. They come here and do things that even the locals don't do. Where is the Hawaii Tourism Authority when this happens? Accountability for the problems you create by making Hawaii out to be a playground for holiday goers. Just a mess all around. Then Hawaii taxpayers gotta pay for it. Have the HTA pay for every incident involving tourists!!
Every hike is dangerous even pill box and you going there to hike you hiking at your own risk. Especially people who have zero experience hiking. Hawaii is more then a hike. More then a waterfall more then a view.

Sad but leave our trails alone
Hikes and beaches need too be researched as well as ask the locals before u venture

Imagine them goin on the maili pillbox. The last one u have to walk a narrow path that u can fall over and die on both the left and right side
You’re hiking and we already know what dangers can happen. My condolences to the family.

out of shape = not fit to hike up steep hills.
It’s not worth the expense, just fence it off! 🙄🧐🙃. Too many people have no common sense, just like the person who fell into the blow hole!
The Great Outdoors comes with risks.
I thought it was a white guy. White people are annoying.
Huge areolas are nice fdfd
Who knew the race as soon as they knew their reaction😂😂😂
