"Mini-Essay"

When people come to the Hawaiian Islands for a vacation, the first thing they want to do is to go sight seeing. Seeing the beautiful nature and the blue ocean water is just the perfect memory. When looking at the sights there is a lot of dangers that could happen when you are trying to get the perfect shoot. You are risking your life on the line to see the view. A lot of people and tourist go back to their homes and have the best memories of a life time to remember, some on the other hand don't. Someone of these people like David Potts, Paul Tam Mai, and others never made it back to their families. Their death got their families suing the government. They should be suing the location were they were found dead. It's the location's fault because they have a lack of signs, lack of boundaries, and lack of security. 

These people like David Potts, Paul Tam Mai and others went to popular sight seeing attractions. Theses sights such as the Nakalele Point have only one sign by the parking lot. It states "Walk at your own risk" hand painted on a sign. A lot of people don't see the sign and just pass it and go to the sight not knowing to walk at their own risk. Putting more signs and making the signs bright  so people will pay more attention, will help get the point across of walking at their own risk. Having more signs saying the dangers and the risk that you could be putting yourself in. The same thing happened at Hawaiian Paradise Park, no hazards signs. The park have a dangerous rocky cliff that has knocked people offshore. The "landowners could be legally vulnerable if they have not adequately installed and maintained signs notifying the public of potential hazards". Making notifying signs and hazards signs are extremely important because you don't want to be a potential liability. You want to make sure that everyone will be safe. 

Reading signs when sight seeing is very important because you want to make sure you are safe and everyone around you are also safe. With deaths happening around popular sight seeing spots it's a real debate on if it's the person's fault, the location's fault, or the government's fault. It's the location's fault because the person doesn't have control of mother nature and the government doesn't own the land so they can't put up their own signs. The location has to take the blame because there is a lack of signs, lack of boundaries, and lack of security.
