Yeah seriously. People saying “just leave him”, like for real? The dude is in obvious danger…he’s a fucking idiot, and maybe should be fined for the rescue effort, but good lord you can’t just leave him in such a high risk situation like that. He doesn’t deserve to die for this like c’mon
We let people skydive, base dive, and tight rope walk without safety gear. People can go caving, who is it to decide what is and isn’t dangerous than someone’s own self?
People need to get their heads out of their asses and let people live their own lives.
Those are all highly regulated and require an absurd amount of training, safety equipment, etc. When people skydive, base jump, etc, the authorities are aware and prepared should anything go wrong.
I think it’s unfair to make a comparison between a random dumbass endangering himself and a highly regulated extreme sport.
Uhh no, I can go buy a parachute and go base dive tomorrow.
Give your head a shake, think a little further than your own nose.
You could try, but authorities will absolutely try to stop you, similar to boat guy here. It's just that stopping a base diver is a little harder.
That’s because a lot need to trespass to do what they do, or they want to do it for the clout.
Theres legal places to do BASE jump as well, just like you can take a watercraft out to ocean. They are blowing this single one out of proportion for some reason, almost anything you could find something slightly illegal to make a stink about if you really want.
Ahem....literally they don't get told and people free dive all the time. Stop pushing your crap on others and forcing them to do what society deems is proper.
I think it's unfair to force someone in the ocean to come back to land when he continues to go out. T The fuk you gonna do to stop them. Leave them
You can walk into a cave right now, no training at all, not even a tiktok tutorial, you can buy anything online with absolutely no training on how to use it and freely use it at your own will.
So If we want to say " hey that dick head is doing something really stupid.... Again.... Maybe we should just leave him out there, because thats where the dumbass obviously wants to be" thats all cool as well, we're just untrained dumbasses typing.
HE DIDNT NEED OR WANT TO BE 'RESCUED'.
Why do people have this weird ass obsession with forcing their views on people, then demanding THEY be charged because YOU think they should be doing something different?
His life, his choice. This is his SECOND time doing this so CLEARLY he knows because those that 'saved him' would have already told him the dangers he would have obviously already known to begin with.
He's done it at least 4 times. Not sure how many as of the date of the article but by now he's been stopped at least 4 times
Especially a terrible death like that. Stranded at sea is a terrible way to die as you have mo chelter from the sun and dehydrate to death over a couple days. And chances are that there are as many fish around you as birds. The open ocean is essentially a desert with no water to drink, no food to eat, and no shelter from the sun.
