accidentally ignited during an Ancient Hawaiian fire-throwing ceremony
From the link:
Ancient Hawaiians held the ceremony to mark great occasions and special ceremonies.
"This is something they mentally, physically have to prepare themselves for," McCarthy said.
Unfortunately, when the link between authentic Hawaiian culture and practice isn't directly handed down from generation to generation, a little knowledge might as they say, be a dangerous thing. This can be equally true for "The Protectors" who claim to be religious practitioners on Mauna Kea. There are no doubt authentic practitioners on the mountain, but those who invent their own weekend warrior style ceremony and belief system endanger not only themselves, but those who follow an authentic practice as a lifelong and integral part of their daily life.
"The Protectors" may not burn down the summit of Mauna Kea with their newly found religious beliefs, but their false statements certainly are capable of setting many a pants on fire. Figuratively if not literally.
The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?
