HILO, Hawaii (KHON2) -- A Hawaii Island official is making a push she hopes will prevent unnecessary deaths at Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots in Wailuku River.

She believes adding a sign listing the number of fatalities will help deter people. Body of missing visitor found at Hilo’s Boiling Pots "I do know that people, lifeguards, strong swimmers and local people have died there. Not just tourists who don't know what they're doing," explained Kagiwada. According to Kagiwada, the signs would list dates of fatalities in the area and would inform readers to not travel beyond a certain point. The idea stemmed from a sign posted at windward Oahu's Olomana trail hike. Before the sign was posted, six hikers fell to death in the last 13 years. After it was posted, only one fall has occurred with zero fatalities. "We saw that there had been some success in other places with doing warning signs that really talk about the number of deaths and everything. We just thought we would try this, a very inexpensive way to attempt to alert people to the dangers there and get them to think about not going there because it's a dangerous spot," Kagiwada added. During a community meeting on Monday, Nov. 25, residents agreed adding the sign would be a good idea. Residents also suggested including different languages and possible symbols on the sign to help alert non-English speaking visitors.
