Default Rescue on the sandy

[img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img] I dont know about anyone else but it gets me upset when I see on the news that there is a rescue because of stupidity. [img]graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] Other people have to risk there lives for a few idiots. On the sandy there were two rescues yesterday. After the second one the helicopter had to land right away because of ice build up on the rotors. This sounds pretty dangerous to me for someone going and jumping into a raging river and then yelling help me! help me!. Who has to pay for this. If any one knows please let us know. :whazzup:

Unfortunatley the tax payers pay for it. But more so, if a Rescuer dies in the attempt the families, friends and cooworkers have to pay even more.

Was there somthing that went through the state that some rescues are billed to the individuals. If I put my boat in and there were flood conditions and it looked dangerous from the begining then I feel that I should have to pay for my stupidity not enery one else. Sure <stuff> hapens but when you go out and try to get into it that is a different story. [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

Thanx for being there, [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] , hopefully they learned their lesson and don't push fait again but unfortunately some people will never learn until somebody gets hurt,hopefully if that happens it takes one of these idiots and not someone putting their own life on the line trying to save one of them,that just don't care about their own lives let alone anybody else involved.Thank you one more time to the rescuers for being there. :smile:
