Would you agree then that the owners of every ocean going vessel and crew rescued be sued as well?
What about rescues on the Great Lakes, or any other body of water, sue them as well?
Aren’t they taking “risks” by plying the waters and therefore placing the prospect of death at the feet of the rescuers? Aren’t they costing taxpayers money when they need rescuing?
All sailboat and motor boat owners, kayakers, whitewater rafters, etc. beware, if you’re not doing something “productive” or something that has a “purpose” when you’re out on the waters, you better have a good attorney.
