The number of people who have died in this particular cave is less than 300, sounds safe enough to me

They mean all known deaths in sea caves.
Don't stinkin tell me what to do. Or not do. You aren't the boss of me.
Right! This gets me so hosed.
If those spelunkers could read, they'd be very upset.
If we're serious about keeping people alive, that sign seems to be about the size of a good fence or wall they could have also installed. Just sayin.
It's more like those signs in the edge of the Australian outback telling you there's no gas for 600km or the signs on that crazy ass island in The Great lakes with the 300 ft tall sand face.
Lots of people are capable and go there and enjoy themselves. The warning signs probably save at least a few people some serious trouble
Ive been on hikes and watching assholes climb fences to go to dangerous zones "for a picture".
Or they could ban leaving home because people can get injured outside.
Ah, yes, the slippery slope argument. Can't have a safety barrier up or else we'll all end up locked in our homes by the nanny state.

You took it further than I would. I'd listen to the sign these days, but there was absolutely a time that, that sign would have just been a challenge.
Edit: for you grammar nerds. Do I need that comma? It seems like it should be there, but it also seems superfluous at the same time.
With the "that, that" the comma helps, but you actually don't even need the second that for that sentence to make grammatical sense.
I feel like if they replaced the first "that" with "when" it would read smoother. "...a time when that sign"
