That's how tourists get killed!
You're right!! Naivety or just plain ignorance. Luckily this guy handled the situation pretty good otherwise it could have turned out badly!

That ele has obviously lost all fear of humans. Looks like a situation similar to what happens with bears in the States. Tourists think it is cool to feed the bears and they get habituated to people and eventually become a real nuisance, then someone gets injured or killed.
Agreed that the people in the video did all the right things. That could have been a major disaster. Sadly the next people may not be so lucky.

Hi Jay,
Hope you're well.
I'm headed your way in January.
Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.
Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.
I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.
Have a good one.
Mark
