A 41-year-old father-of-two had to be put on a ventilator after he miraculously survived being stuck in a 15 foot deep ravine for multiple nights without food.
Ian Goodsell, who lives on the big island of Hawaii, was crossing an old bridge near a forest off Kamaili Road when it collapsed underneath him, KITV reported.
‘He fell into a ravine about 15 feet deep and was in there for three nights,’ said Garrett Goodsell, Ian’s brother.

‘If you’re gonna go hiking, and this wasn’t necessarily a hiking trail, and even more so if you’re gonna go out there, make sure you stick to the trails, as much as possible,’ Volpe said. ‘Don’t hike alone, make sure you let people know where you’re going and kind of when you expect to be back.’

Seems obvious advice.
Where was his EDC, a daypack, and a phone? And, without his anti-seizure meds in his pocket!
It’s not “ingenious” to use a shirt to catch water.
He was just lucky.
