Why can't they cover the blow holes with a metal/wire crate to prevent accidents? There will always be somebody who will try to do exactly the same thing as the boys in this video. I am sure it attracts massive amount of tourists, so why nobody thought of covering the area surrounded with metal crate?
David Potts, 44, of San Anselmo, California was killed on July 9, 2011 when he was knocked off his feet by a large wave and swept into the blow hole at Nakalele Point .
In 2002 Daniel Dick, an 18-year-old from California, drowned when he fell into Halona Blowhole near Sandy Beach on Oahu's East side.

See, at about 0:09 when you volunteer to let it slam you to the ground, sacrificing the strength of your limbs. It would have been very simple for the water to pull back fast enough so that you went right along with it. down the hole. Extremely risky my friend. Extremely risky.
this guy doesn't deserve to still be alive, since he treats his relatives like they are garbage by taking pointless risks with his life. How paradoxical...
Go to hawaiinewsnow (com) and look for the article and video called: "Blowhole dangers caught on tape"
They showed part of this youtube video and the reporter said in a voice-over: "This guy is extremely lucky his reckless behavior didn't cost him his life."
If this idiot had died, his family would have started with the lawsuits, and then the demands to plug the whole because it is "just too dangerous". We are a stupid, stupid species. The video above is exhibit A.
@Wbronson1 I completely disagree. It wasn't posted, there were no signs. Someone is responsible for this! How is this man expected to know better? Don't you have a heart? You are an ignorant man, and probably a Republican, too!
I lived in a coastal area for the first 15 years of my life...I have watched tourist from all walk of life get drown every summer...the thing they dont understand, that the sea is a live and it's wicked even for the experience one....I personally got drown while surfing a few times, and lucky for me, there was always someone there to save me..
HONOLULU (AP) — Witnesses who watched a Northern California man get sucked into a Maui blow hole to his apparent death say that the tourist was dancing around and frolicking in the sprays of water moments before a wave knocked him down.

@PfunkGW Someone is indeed responsible for this. The guy that fell in is completely responsible for his own actions.
Do you seriously want a warning on every dangerous thing on this planet?
Come on how f*cking stupid must you be not to know that this is damn dangerous...

sounds fun, but seems can be dangerous, but I guess that tourist who died probably saw others doing that and tried to do the same.
