I’d like to see adventurers post a bond. Before some 16 year old girl is put in a sailboat to go round the world exposing navies and private rescuers to countless risks and cost, make them put up the money.
And, I have an image of that rescue helicopter crashing getting some skiers off a mountain every time I read about another one of these people who thinks it makes them more manly to do Everest or the face of El Capitan.
Why? Just don’t provide public rescue services. Adventurers were there long before there was air evacuation and trauma care and they were maimed or died if they screwed up. It’s bulls*** to create a giant rescue apparatus associated with extreme environments and then turn around and bitch about it when it’s used.
