[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm heartbroken for their families but also angry because they didn't just risk their lives but also the lives of the people who went out looking for them. Incredibly irresponsible. I was honestly shocked to learn they were mainly women and mothers. We're usually not the risk takers.[/quote]

Yeah, it's very sad, but I think it's selfish to take extreme risks when you have kids. Felt the same way about the guy who climbed the building for a Netflix show.[/quote]

I actually disagree. I have listened to Alex Honnold, guy who free solos, talk about risk numerous times. From his perspective people think what he dose is insane just because it isn't more mainstream and a lot of people aren't doing it, but these people are somehow ok with things like ski racing or skiing in general which are also very risky because they are more mainstream. We all do things that are risky. People are killed every day driving, cycling (feel like cyclist have a huge chance of death) , skiing and doing 100 other things.

Also in terms of Alex Honnold;  he doesn't just wake up and free solo something. The amount of training and preparation he does leading up to these thing is incredible. Sure it doesn't remove all risk, but he is also far from careless. [/quote]

Pitiful excuses. These are parents who don't need to take risks doing extreme sports when they have young children. And, no, we all are NOT engaging in extremely risky behavior. [/quote]
