The rock, dislodged by another climber, rolled down the unstable slopes during heavy rains. 虽然自然保护部门已经改善了警示标志和游客信息, 但法医指出这一事件是无法预防的, 并强调徒步旅行带来的风险. While the Department of Conservation has since improved warning signs and visitor information, the coroner noted the incident was not preventable and emphasized the inherent risks of hiking.
