Living life is one thing. Doing stupid suicidal crap is something else entirely.
You want to rappel down a cliff? GREAT! But go ahead and LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST, and do it with some WalMart carabiners and some clothesline or frayed rope from Lowes. I mean, that's LIVING ON THE EDGE RIGHT!
Doesn't sound very smart huh?
Stupidity isn't an admirable trait in spite of some on here's admiration of this "adventuresome" woman. She didn't simply get in trouble while practicing her passion for adventure (which any of us could do), she didn't get in over her head, she went in over her head. She made a bad, foolhardy, decision and paid for it.
Thanks, I'll take my chances on the couch before intentionally walking into certain life threatening conditions. Call me a wuss but I have a family that needs me (as did she).

No, he was stupid, plain and simple.
This thread has a high content of BS, just sayin...
