No. I'd never actually do that. You kind of get the idea though. If you get enough peoples attention we'll all need insurance. I climb because I like the freedom and the no-hassle of climbing. Don't make me have a license, terms of use, waivers and all that other stuff.
The way you are going on it won't be long. Nobody wants that at all.
I mean Honnold's Solo's are pretty much way beyond over the top. If he fell there's nothing I wouldn't voluntarily do to try and save that man's life. Yes I do mean that. I'd go out of my way to reach him or anyone and help.
It's called human nature. Maybe not actually. It's what makes American's unique though. We value life. We'll risk 10 lives to save one just look at the Vietnam Wall.
I'm volunteering for SAR in my state and there's nothing I wouldn't happily risk to help a fellow man/woman/child. It's part of what makes are person feel alive.
Don't get fines involved. Let me volunteer to go after someone if I feel like it. Don't assess fines and penalties because now you rob me of the joy of doing something I love. Next thing you know SAR people won't be welcome and appreciated. People in trouble will be like, "No I don't want SAR. I'd rather die than have to pay $30,000".
I'd have gone after Tom all by myself. But I wouldn't have had to. Others would have been there willing to risk it all to help too.
That's American. I hope that's human.
