When a football player or real (e.g. high school or college) wrestler is injured, we don't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not millions) looking for them.

No but indirectly we spend much money on football players and their families spend lives caring for them. And for other sportsmen. Their risk affects their families and the people who pay for their treatment.

The rescuers are not forced to do what they do. I suspect they love what they do.

I wouldn't do mountain climing under any circumstances. But men are like that,,they have always done stuff like that. It is in their nature.

We spend hundreds of thousands on every football player who ends up quadriplegic. We pay for it indirectly.

We would if they were playing football on a mountain in a snowstorm. Some times others logic escapes me.
