Should rescue groups be put at risk when individuals willingly decide to risk their lives during the worst season?
For that matter, should taxpayers pay to rescue anyone in any circumstance where the individual knowingly and voluntarily took a high risk? Where does personal responsibility enter into the equation?

If they are going to take that kind of risk, they should pay for the consequences.

TAxes!! We all pay enough already! If i decide to drive my Car in bad weather it is ok for me to do because i have Insurance that i alone paid for. Not the Govt/Taxpayers. You wanna climb the mountain,swim with sharks, soar with the eagles, i don't care but buying some type of "rescue Insurance" would be a better way to deal with the issue than raisng my property taxes.Why should the general population have to fork over hard earned cash to rescue some numbnutz that got lost in a snowstorm on a mountain, After being warned not to go!!

How would you know until after the rescue the person 'knowingly and voluntarily took a high risk?'

No! They should climb at their own risk and I think if they knew that no one was going to rescue them should there be trouble that you would find a whole lot less climbing in ridiculous conditions.

i think they should pay some kind of deposit first before climbing, for EACH climber just in case something goes wrong. then they can get the deposit when they come back safe and sound. furthermore...now that i think about it...they should also pay an additional fee for climbing the moutain in the first place

NO! I think they have a screw loose.Mountain climbing seems to be a rich mans sport like golf, they can put up the bucks.

Aren't we taxed enough? Be responsible for your own actions. If they want to climb a mountain, then go for it. But DO NOT expect MY taxes to be used to find you.

to be used in case of accidents
