    What an apt comment!

  2. Who can dispute that logic? A good weekend thought to lol about!

    I always feel a bit angry when others have to risk their lives to save fools.

      There should be some mechanism to make the idiots responsible. At least making them pay for the rescue (or signing they don’t want it) if things go wrong. Andy thinks there should be rescue insurance. That doesn’t solve the danger for the rescuers, but it might make people think twice before they go.

    agree Cindi, the resource$ needed to rescue said people – amazing. Just in the last few weeks we had the the case of a yachtie and his small child – who said they intended to sail up the coast North – the time frame dragged to a point where “search/rescue” alerted. Turned out yachtie had no intention of “coast North” instead he went across to Australia!

    I ditto cindi.
    rescuers have to go get idiots like that.
    I have little sympathy for people also who disobey rules of safety.
    especially those that read the sign NO SKIING HERE. AVALANCHE ZONE.
    and then they go anyway and want to be rescued. at the peril of their rescuers.

    • Jean says:

      We’re assuming rescuers have to risk their safety to do it. Maybe that should change if the people in trouble were idiots and can’t be rescued safely? In one of the state parks in Ithaca, NY a plaque warns people not to try to climb the waterfalls in winter, and it tells the story of one rescuer who died trying to help. I hope it made some people think twice.

  6. Some fools think it is macho not to heed to wise warnings …. hence these foolish excursions!!!
