I'd hate to be the one to tell a family their love one died trying to save somone who was there because they thought it was cool and didn't care about anyone but themselves.
Stupidity should not be awarded!

Yup. One of my friend's friend is park ranger that died last week during a rescue attempt:

A man died enjoying something he was likely passionate about and paid the ultimate price, his family and friends are mourning his loss and all the nitwits have to say is "his family/estate" should pay.
Heartless goofs!

Thats BS. When you take these risks, you assume the risks and you should have the proper knowledge to get yourself out of these risks. If you are being stupid, then you pay stupid tax. (EDIT: rereading, I guess this is just leisurely rafting - nothing crazy crazy. My point is moot.)
