Wow! Thank goodness his cousin (?) was there.

And I really hope that the thread doesn’t devolve into a “yet another thrill-seeker” who costs the taxpayers money thread.

I agree that there are people who test Mother Nature.

But Americans are like that. We take on a challenge. We wouldn’t be a country if we weren’t.

I admire the guy’s courage.

Back country skiers risk the lives of first responders who often do not fare well.

I root for their demise. That goes for the guys who drag Sherpas up to mountain tops, sailors who set off on open ocean crossings in tiny ill equipped boats, base jumpers and all the rest.
And, If someone made me king I would make every one of the egoists pay every dime it costs to rescue them and make them criminally responsible for the death or injury of every rescuer.

I’m glad that you got to express your (correct) opinion before all the Karen’s and Fearpers got on.

What a bunch of sissies we’ve become when supposed conservatives on a conservative site whine and cry about people pushing the limits for adventure and wish for their deaths.

Flame away Karen’s
