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.

Loser pays all. Same with frivolous law suits. Want to sue someone because their coffees too hot? Fine. Lose, and you pay all damages, fees and court costs.

Adrenaline junkies are bored white people; they are no longer challenged seeking food, clothing, and shelter, so they have to do stupid sh!t to feel alive.

Some areas already have policies to charge these people for the rescues.

First responders make the same sort of decisions as those they try to rescue. Should nobody ever do anything dangerous or risky?

Not in any world I want to live in - God gave us FRee Will and namby-pambies want to impose their will over us to “fill the gap.

I suppose lazy unhealthy couch potatoes should have medical care withheld. After all, they ask for their troubles. As a former first responder, we train for this. We then sit around waiting for a chance to use our skills.
