Your translation isn’t bad but I’d say it’s too literal. I’d translate it to something like this:
It’s dangerous beyond this point, please don’t go any further.
Though keep in mind I’m no expert and this could probably be translated better :p
Thanks! About the translation, yeah, my primary concern is putting across the wording of the original, that’s why it became too literal. You know, that basic Japanese newbie learner tendency to be too literal.
I am also a bit stumped about the grammar used for the last sentence, but I’m guessing it’s some polite construction which wouldn’t affect the English translation too much.
