[WPOZZZ]

We have shark attacks, too. However, what Jessica Rich said, does ring true. Tourists are oblivious of their surroundings and think this is paradise, what can go wrong? A few weeks ago, I was at the Halona Blow Hole with my gf and her sister when some tourists were down below at the blow hole. There are many signs that say do not enter, or go past the railings, but many ignore them. These tourists were about 10 feet and 3 feet away. A large woman was the closest and was trying to get a picture of the blow hole spouting and clowning around. It spouted and shocked her with the force of the spray, but she stayed there. Then some large waves crashed against the rocks and she wasn't aware what was happening as the entire party had their backs toward the ocean. The lady got swept off her ass and probably scraped up, but was still safe.

This happens all the time. Just like the warnings from lifeguards about rip currents and undertows. Most heed these warnings, but there are the few who think they can handle, or nothing will happen to them.
