If some idiot wants to climb Mt.Everest or trek to the Noth Pole and gets lost why do we waste tax payers money to rescue them?And not just a little money either plus the rescuers put their own lives in danger.They should have to pay a rescue team before they go who will get them if they get in trouble.If they don't , screw em.

This idea is actually starting to catch on. In Upper Dublin PA they have a new law that says that people who drive through detour signs to continue along roads that are flooded will be fined and hit for the cost of their rescues. There are always idiots that ignore the warnings and end up needing to be rescued. The law was suggested by a fire rescue worker who almost drowned when a driver went past police barricades warning signs onto a flooded road and then got swept into the nearby creek requiring a dangerous rescue effort by a team of divers.

For the same reason the EMS will come to your aid when you clutch your chest in a cheese doodle & Fatburger induced coronary.
By the way we buy insurance for exploits on that level.... if not and you get stuck it will cost you in excess of $50K.
Sit back and just watch the discovery channel from the relative safety of your couch...

your pants most certainly around your ankles waiting for a Jessica Simpson video.

who are we to decide who deserves rescuing and who doesnt or who is entitled to life and who isnt?
we all make mistakes, everyone deserves some help regardless of what they were doing to get into such a state.
