It's a serious issue and I never meant to suggest otherwise. Thanks for taking time to comment. You're right about slippery rocks, Julie. They can be a problem too and cause an unexpected accident.

It has a slightly comic book representation to what can be a drowning person's very real, last desperate attempts at survival. Perhaps a simple graphic of the ocean would have been more appropriate. For whatever it's worth I thought I would share that. For quite some time now and for I hope long into the future, I will continue to enjoy and look forward to your insight and valuable information regarding Hawaiian travel.

I've known two people who have had serious accidents in the Wailuku River and Boiling Pots in the Hilo area. Rocks can be slippery and there can be undertows by waterfalls. Please be careful!
