Careful on those slippery rocks.

I know of two accidents at the Sihanoukville waterfalls. One where a girl slipped over and broke her arm. Another where a girl slipped over and knocked out her front teeth.

I have seen people walk in places where if they did slip over they would go over the edge, which would at least result in several broken bones.

Some people take more risks when with a group of friends.

Children should be supervised.
