For me I think it's more that they 100% went into this of their own free will and choice, had many chances to evaluate the dangers, did it anyway, and by post #2 I had already concluded the most likely outcome. I would think I'd feel a lot differently if they were in communication, or there were some signs they were still alive. But at this point they aren't much different than Darwin award winners and people joke about those all the time. It's basically "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

And that's totally valid. There's absolutely a stark difference between freak accident that could happen to anyone, and something like this where you intentionally put yourself there, and I don't think that's unfair to point out. But I doubt anyone in this thread is seriously thinking that they hope they're never found
Everyone's got their own level for what they find offensive and what they don't. I know my level is quite a bit higher than most would put up with, so I've largely stayed quiet in this thread. And I'm not going to tell someone their opinion is wrong either just because they find it distasteful. We're all different. I just don't like when people start getting holier than thou and talking down to people because they didn't like a joke they made. Some people are just used to tragedy so we don't see it through that same lens. And sure, some people are just a-holes
Your original post though, that was a 10/10
Edit: I'd tldr this thought with basically: Who gives a ####
