To your point however - I have seen other examples of caves where they did exactly that - put up a gate and locked it. I can’t remember if there is actually a gate before this sign too - I just know people have died in there. So hard pass from me.
It’s more like those signs in the edge of the Australian outback telling you there’s no gas for 600km or the signs on that crazy ass island in The Great lakes with the 300 ft tall sand face.
Lots of people are capable and go there and enjoy themselves. The warning signs probably save at least a few people some serious trouble
If we’re serious about keeping people alive, that sign seems to be about the size of a good fence or wall they could have also installed. Just sayin.
That’d be pretty disruptive to wild life and anyone with the expertise to go in
It’s common for land caves. They put on a gate that allows bats but not humans, and access can be gained by appointment.
I had not thought of the wildlife, but the sign makes it pretty clear nobody should go in.
I think it makes it clear that those with cave diving expertise can go in at their own risk
I’d bet it was cave divers that put up the sign.
I mean - it’s underwater and in a cave
Fair point. It just seemed like full effort for a half measure, but I’m not exploring caves at all so what do I know?
Also, nice athf reference.

Ive been on hikes and watching assholes climb fences to go to dangerous zones “for a picture”.
Or they could ban leaving home because people can get injured outside.
Ah, yes, the slippery slope argument. Can’t have a safety barrier up or else we’ll all end up locked in our homes by the nanny state.
