Some activities carry risks and if you want your 15 year old daughter to sail around the world alone you either pay a bond for the rescue effort or else she should be allowed to die for her incompetence, stupidity or just bad luck. Same goes for this guy.

Same attitude applies to me out elk hunting alone. If I step in a hole and break my leg and a bear eats me then that's just the way it went and the elk win one for a change.  |
Bob, I am 100% with you on this one.
