I am curious, the people specifically that refused further medical attention, was it their decision to call for help? Or a bystander? In which case the injured person couldn’t really be charged for the rescue of they didn’t request it.
It would seem to me that if you are interested in some kind of physical activity. You best be the kind of person who is in some kind of physical shape. Maybe the gym or running. Just walking off the airplane and doing something physical could be trouble.
It appears those (of us) in their 50’s still think they (we) can still do what we did in our 20’s and 30’s?! Common sense is no longer common.
Some of us CAN do things some 20s and 30s can’t, but I see your point. Nobody is invincible.
Aloha Rob and Jeff, I am here and saw the search for the swimmer swept out to sea at Lumahai. Waves were peaking at Haena at 20 ft Sat and Sun.Was at Hanalei and it was an all day search. I can’t stress enough for visitors to follow all warnings. What a tragedy for his family and friends and the rescue people as well. Please vacation wisely and with great caution. You never know with nature what can happen. Mahalo!!
if it is posted no trust past ,or you climb over fences ,or thru a chain fence,and ignore warning signs. and have to be rescued you should be charged and you should be find for breaking the law .it’s your negligence and selfishness that got you in that position so yes pay up…no matter local, visitors or tourists……
If you ignore warning signs on beaches or the life guards warning or weather warnings yes you should be charged and pay to be rescued ..people have died rescuing others Mahalo
Tommy would go.
