If it were me, my redneck humor would walk over and mark the edge of the hole with a stick or fence slat. Then I'd tell them don't mind me, that's just so rescue knows where dig for the bodies when it collapses. Y'all keep digging.
Kinda like, when a hurricane is tracking our way and knocking on doors to urge evacuation, for those that want to stay behind leave them with a toe tag to fill out/attach and/or write your name/address on the inside of your forearm.
A few times, I've, in a very "non Karenish" way, mentioned the potential risk of a cave in when coming upon severely deep hole diggers...."thanks, we got it" is about the best one gets. Lest we also forget, first responders occasionally have to run the beach...dropping a corner in a hole can be catastrophic.
