Anytime you hear of a climber wanting to top, let's say, Mt. Everest...and he gets lost, hurt, etc. I think of every man that is putting his life at risk trying to rescue him.
I saw on TV the other day where 4 adults took a boat out into the ocean off the coast of Florida...WITH THE HURRICANE COMING...that had been reported for what? 3, 4 days at the time????
I think people should be sent a bill for doing stupid things like that so the taxpayers don't have to pay for stupid!

I think in general, people who do dangerous things are very well aware that what they are doing could potentially harm them, but what's the point of living if you're going to live like a grandma all your life?
I don't care if they know what they are doing is dangerous, I think every death is tragic regardless.
And at the very least, they died doing something they loved whether it be rockclimbing, sky diving or anything else and they actually got to
live their life instead of just being an observer to life.
