[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nature is harsh. You can prepare and have all the experience and training and equipment in the world but when it becomes man against natural forces - be it fire, water, cold, snow - nature is stronger.

But there is also an incredible amount of reward for spending time in nature and reaping the benefits of the beauty and adventure. Is there a risk - of course. But life has risk and you only live one life. We can all die tomorrow. For those of us who aren't risk adverse, you accept the risk of nature and adventure just like you do every time you get in your car. [/quote]

This last bit is utter hogwash a bunch of you are regurgitating in one form or another. [b]This wasn't a time anyone was traipsing about enjoying nature.

[b]They chose to go out in terrible conditions when they shouldn't. [/b]They may have been worried if they didn't have enough food. Either they were arrogant or they were desperate. [b]The facts are what most of us want to know. [/b][/quote]

In the end, their judgement and decision turned out to be horrible for them.  I am not arguing that.  But people do make similar bad judgement call and nothing terrible happens to them.  They were not making a terrible moral decision that would kill other people - like waging war on others.  They took a risk with their own life and maybe 9 out of 10 times nothing bad would have happened to them.  Yes, bad lapse of judgement, bad luck, bad decision....

But, they did not deserve to die for this decision, their family did not deserve to lose them and we can still mourn for their senseless death.  It is still extremely tragic and it is heartbreaking to hear.  No one can argue with that.

Nobody said they deserve it. But what are you even comparing this to? There is absolutely zero need to engage in high risk adventures. Just, none. This isn't like getting in your car to drive to work. And where did you decide 9/10? Just making things up? If they hadn't gone skiing at all, they would be alive. They didn't need to go on a dangerous trip, during an avalanche warning, on that day. [/quote]
