Am not including normal hiking and climbing..Am refering to those, that knowingly risk their lives climbing the highest or dangerous sites..most of whom are wealthy, spending many thousands of dollars on each climb, and at times with lucrative motives etc.. When they encounter problems, the various goverment agencies (completely funded by tax dollars) immediately become involved, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars,using helicopters and the latest types of rescue equipment..as well as risking the lives of numerous personnel...and as news reports point out ,the search/rescue missions go on for weeks.. my question applies also to those such as a famous millionaire, who attempts traveling in high flying air balloons, to set a record, causing rescue teams to be involved.. they should be required to purchase insurance to reimburse any costs involved in their rescues., and failing to do so,should be required to sign a waiver of assistance or prevented from
doing as they please..
