This sign, warning of a steep path at a South African crocodile farm, is fairly unambiguous about the potential risks.

A photograph of a warning sign hung on a tree. The sign is the usual red-bordered triangle, but the illustration inside the triangle shows a person in a wheelchair, hands raised in alarm, hurtling down a steep slope toward the open jaws of a crocodile at the bottom.

Or, as they're known in those parts, "appetizers”.

If I were a crocodile I'd be camping out at the bottom of this path.

@rgulick They do say that any time you see a warning sign, there's a reason for it.

@angusm

But there are sooo many Bozos who see warning signs as a dare...

@angusm @ct_bergstrom @cstross You know this had to have happened for there to be a sign. Frightening thought.

Accelerating wheelchairs could harm poor, unsuspecting crocodiles?

@angusm @ct_bergstrom @cstross this looks like a trailer for a James Bond movie. Felix Leiter can still do field work!
