Search Rescue
Who Should Pay for Search and Rescue?
I live in the Northwest, and we have had 2 search and rescue missions up here in a week. I don't think the Kim family should ve held responsible for goimg dpwm a rpad tjat was supposed to be closed, because a vandal cut the lock open, but the three on Mt. Hood is another story. Who should be responsible to pick up the bill for the three lost climbers on Mt. Hood? Should the individuals who are lost be responsible? Or should all hikers pay a higher fee to hike to offset the costs of Search and Rescue? What about a system that required all hikers to wear a GPS locating device? Just curious to see what you think. Thanks!
We pay insurance to cover the cost of fire and theft? Shouldn't climbers have to carry insurance, then?
I totally agree with you. It costs you more to insure a Roles Royce than a pinto. you pay more taxes on a Roles Royce than a pinto. If you don't have insurance you loose if you have got insurance and you die use that money for the search and rescue.Rate it like the insurance companys do, you pay more if you drive 50,000 miles a year than you do for someone who drives 20,000 miles per year.If they find them alive they still should pay. After all they will probably write a book about their adventure and make money from it. If they haddent attempted to climb the mountain in the first place they wouldn't have gotten lost or trapped.
