Barricades and warning signs had been erected on the second floor of the nightspot, where the pit opening was located, to prevent guests from entering the area.
Then State Coroner Kamala Ponnampalam, however, noted that the barricades could be pushed aside and the area around the pit was not illuminated.
Mr Tung spotted two men, who were not identified, entering the cordoned-off area at around 1.30am on that day.
He ran towards them while shining his torch to warn them, but failed to spot the pit himself and fell into it.

It is like some precautions were taken but lots of flaws.
You cannot use just temporary barricades. Out of so many some are for certain going to move it and enter it not knowing the situation. Signs are useless because there could be foreigners who can't read English.
For life threatening and potential fatal accidents you need enough measures such that the responsibility clearly falls on the people circumventing it. For example the barriers have to be damaged for the people to go enter.
