No respect for nature and the risks involved.  A bunch 20 somethings were also ticketed for trespassing into closed trail areas where rock slides have killed a number of people. 

First story, the young woman is lucky that a Tiger or Hammerhead shark didn't come in to follow-up with the blood trail.

The 2nd story, both trails are treacherous and only should be attempted during daylight hours.  Huge risks of falling off sheer ridgelines.

Someone put a swing at this location.  Sheer drop and no coming back if it breaks.

Don't mess with baby seals, lead filled snow shoes or eat the yellow snow. 

Even in Hawaii.

I agree to a point. But I think a good many of us can recall times when we took ridiculous risks, and for some reason we are still here.

If Darwinism worked like many of us pretend, there would be a noticeably smaller population.  Yet despite how bad our choices, we keep expanding.

Gosh, I remember folks swimming that "Blow Hole".   Nuts.  Then I went on the northside to the Pipeline and saw real crazy.

The guy that rented me the Road King warned me about "Break your legs Beach" and "Break your back Beach".   He waddn't jokin'.

True. I think the major difference today is that there are so many people with phones that also double as recording devices.  Also we can read about idiocy all over courtesy of the inter webs. I shudder to think at having to defend some of my actions when I was younger!

Youtube, internet, Snapchat etc. w/everyone having video capabilities, it makes a lot of the younger ones desiring their 15" of fame.  Stupid is still stupid.
