Yeah but its the amount of risk you should put on your family for the return. Risking your life as a soldier fighting for your country...its belief and faith. Jumping out of a helicopter or off a cliff with skis on. Its just plain selfish. Think about that 3 year old girl. He has abandoned her. It is immature and selfish. No kids, I can say its your life. Small children, now its their life too.
And driving and walk, yeah things can happen. Its the difference between playing russin roullette with five bullets in the chamber and one bullet, or maybe not playing at all.
Once again I'll stress that if he has no dependents, he can put a bullet in his own head as far as I'm concerned. But bringing children into the world should force people to grow up.
btw, one reason I am sensitve to this crap is I lost a friend 20 years ago while he was in a rescue party getting an ididot who got lost hiking in NH. Guy thought he as some extreme hiker and fell and broke his leg in an area that was off limits. My friend was in the local rescue team and left behind three small children. These extreme skiers never seem to think about the people who have to risk their lives pulling their butts out when things eventuall go wrong.
