Dumbass chick swims near lava flow

Chick wants her 15 minutes of fame.
 I say in these cases of thrill seekers doing stupid stuff, the City or state should NOT attempt any rescue if they get into trouble.
Why should good people risk THEIR lives to save a dummy?
I'm a firm believer in the Darwin principle.

“​Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time a reckless thrill-seeker has sought their 15 seconds of fame ​by doing something irresponsible and dangerous around active volcanoes and sharing it to social media,” Jessica Ferracane, a spokesperson for the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, told GrindTV.

“It serves only one purpose: self-promotion. This type of careless behavior is not just potentially deadly to themselves, but to first responders who might have to rescue them, or recover their body,” Ferracane continued. “The active lava flows can be safely observed by hiking out to them, and obeying all posted safety signs.”

That's even worse than spitting caves or the Koko head trail

Certainly not the stupidest stunt ever pulled.

Did you hear about the guy who sky dived with no parachute? He landed in a 100' x100' net!

I most of the ski places that I've been to, lots of people want to ski/ride in the out of bounds areas for fresh or deep snow. Most have signs warning that if they have to send rescue to assist, there's a minimum charge, like $1000-2000 ish. Prob doesn't matter as I would bet most of those knuckleheads can't pay the fine.

Ambulance ride in Hawaii is $1400, (they tired to bill me with my Motorcycle accident but couldn't prove I contracted with them so had to drop it)

I'm surprised she was allowed to swim there. Wouldn't there be fences or laws against going into dangerous or sacred areas like that? If going there is illegal then she could be made to pay a fine. Otherwise it would be similar to the skiing scenario, so if she gets hurt go rescue her but make her pay the cost of it.

However with her looks, I would be willing to waive all her fines. :love:
