I still would not just leave somebody to die simply because they were foolish enough to get a Jeep stuck.
neither would i. but we're talking about charging that individual for the tow.
and if they're hiking, for the ride out.
You can not cure stupid, and so long as companies are selling 4x4s and the idea they are invincible in the winter wonderland you will have fools buying into it foolheartedly and going out getting their jeeps stuck.
yep. they pay for the tow charge, don't they?
If I follow your argument why not just quit doing search and rescue or any form of disaster relief at all.
i think we're now talking apples and oranges. disaster relief?
I mean if you are dumb enough to buy property in any of the Gulf States or the Mudwest you are no different than the Jeep driver and deserve to get washed away in the next hurricane or flood. (right?)
well, for me, yes, i do not like having to pay for those who rebuild in flood zones or fire areas.
in an emergency or disaster, everyone gets out. it's those that put others lives at risk through negligence or stupidity that i don't feel sorry for.
charge 'em.
Funny, I thought we were talking about the cost of SAR for people in life threatening situations.
How foolish of me to think we were talking about the cost of rescuing their junk.
Now tell me why I should worry about saving your life if you live in a dangerous area or sometimes do foolish things.
You are obviously negligent if you do that.
Why shouldn't I just let natural evolution function in you and your family's case?
It would cost me a lot less money than paying for an emergency response team.
How about lost boaters and pilots?
They obviously put themselves into danger. Definitely negligent behavior regarding their own safety.
It certainly is not my fault they were on the water or in the air.
Why should I pay for finding anybody.
In fact why should I do anything for anybody else?
