But there's so much hype built up around it, it's hard NOT to think about the fact that people died there.<br /><br />This is a tiny island, people have died EVERYWHERE here. People die on hikes here, fall off fenced-in mountainsides, drown while snorkeling, have heart attacks while parasailing... I read about it every day. One bad lawsuit could put any one of them out of business just like what happened at Sacred Falls. The fact is Sacred Falls was shut down not just because it posed a danger to hikers, but also because it cost the state millions of dollars in restitution to the victims' families; and the state didn't want to take that risk again.

People are still being injured and deaths are inevitable. Every week, criminal citations are written to people, who face 30 days incarceration, $1,500, and a criminal record. Military personnel face loss of security clearances and discharge if convicted.

Probably ...Hey Ohio, have you ever been skydiving? Probably not, but anyway, if you ever read the release forms for skydiving, just about every other sentence in the form says, "YOU COULD DIE". Yet, thousands of people do it every day... AND LIVE! So, let's do some math. 9 people died in 1999. 10's of thousands of people hiked that trail before they closed it. So, what's the chance of something bad happening to you... let's just say, you have a better chance of dieing or getting injured driving to work. So, do us all a favor and stay home where it's safe and stop supporting overzealous safety laws. I believe most safety laws are for the stupid and scared. If you're scared, putting up warning signs should be enough to keep those people away. If you're stupid and something happens to you, thank you for cleaning up the gene pool. And just remember, any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488078144012598127.post-20490739752348470252010-09-27T16:25:20.750-07:002010-09-27T16:25:20.750-07:00Thank you for posting this.

I am going back to Hawaii this December for the XTERRA Trail Run Worlds and was excited to take a run back up to the falls 22 years later - a little slower this time. I'm disappointed that it is closed. May chance it anyway...<br /><br />To the first poster, who are you to judge what is "worth it". Please go back to your protective bubble in Ohio. 6 fatalities in 1999 at sacred falls, 50 fatalities a year on Hawaii roads.
