Man seriously injured in Big Island waterfall jump
Hawaii News Now
HILO, Hawaii (AP) – A 37-year-old man was seriously injured when he jumped down an 80-foot waterfall.
Thanks to AP and www.hawaiinewsnow for this report. You’d think the victim would have learned by now that Rainbow Falls is a very dangerous area to dive or swim in. Police identified the victim as Samson Perez, aka Samson Moses Kahumokuthe, the son of Grammy-award winning slack-key guitarist Moses Kahumoku. Police say Perez lost sensation in the lower part of his body after the bad dive. He underwent surgery on Tuesday in Honolulu. I hope he recovers. This is a bad way to learn a lesson. Aloha, Russ.
