What happens to people isn't always within their control.

My response was a reaction to this statement by a poster. The climbers made a choice to put themselves in this situation. Climbing a mountain is certainly dangerous and I wouldn't consider it a necessary activity of everyday life like driving a car.
I never said "don't try and rescue them". But now everybody has to react to their situation.

Who defines necessary? For example, riding a motorcycle is certainly more dangerous than driving a car. Is riding a motorcycle with the higher inherent risk to be considered necessary? How about riding in a boat?

"I never said "don't try and rescue them". But now everybody has to react to their situation."

I have to react every time I encounter an accident since it delays me in my progress.
