Tort law works in cases like this. The school will be gone, the ‘guides’ will be bankrupted and probably banned from ever working in a similar role.

Criminal charges seem worth considering, too.

What a horrible way to die. I hope that school, and those instructors, get everything they have coming to them.

saying that Buschow signed a waiver - yea well, thats worth nothing - how very very sad, negligent, cruel, unbelievable. This guys family will bankrupt the group and the owners and guides should be tried for manslaughter.

The words came at the end of the second day of what was supposed to be a character-forming experience

sometimes character is overrated - me-thinks it was intelligence, rather, that was in short supply.

Buschow had brought a water bottle with him but was told to carry it empty.

His family needs to sue. There is a huge difference between using a waiver to protect yourself, when doing something so inherently dangerous that people get hurt or killed even when everything is done right, and using a waiver to protect yourself when you have callously allowed someone in your care to die from a danger you have a duty to protect them from.

If they got to the water hole and, againt all expectation, it was dry, or contaminated, and the guy dies, well, that is why you have a waiver. But when you order him to not carry his own water, then listen to him describe the symtoms of heat stroke and dehydration, while carrying for yourself the water you ordered him not to bring for himself...

Somebody ought to suffer for that.

I know it’s the Guardian and all, but ...

“the trek through the mountains and desert of Utah in the mid-western US”

If they get something factual wrong like Utah being in the midwest, then what else is wrong in this story?

Prayers for David Buschow & his family. I hope the family sues this company & the so called guides face trial.

When you hike in this region, the No. 1 rule is to bring lots of water. Any guide who advises hikers to not bring water is guilty of criminal negligence.

the instructors killed the guy. this is bullsh#t. they were macho bullsh#t guides that are cloned from the same sadistic pr#cks that they used to have in boot camp before a DI drowned a bunch of boots in a swamp back in the 50's.

They are more into the power over people rather than the teaching of men. I've always hated power hungry assh#les like that.

They should be held criminally responsible as well as civially liable. I hate lawyers as much as the next guy but this is beyond the pale.

If he was my son, I'd tell the guy to turn himself in to the nearest authorities........ for his own protection. or I'd chain him up and put him, wrapped up in trash bags, inside of a sauna for about 3-4 hours. no water and let the chips fall where they may.

for an instant I thought the headline referred to a star trek fan at a convention. (ok not really but almost)
