Opinion about the surfer killed by Irene waves...

SHTF & Survival Scenarios
Your opinion about the surfer who was killed while playing with hurricane Irene.

He was a free spirit, was old enough, and he had a right to risk his life and those of emergency workers, to play.

He was foolish to take the chance, he might not care about his life, but he risked the lives of others, to play.

Another Adrenalin Junkie bites it. Oh, well, it was his decision. Too bad about the risks the Responders had to take, but they signed up...Maybe they are Adrenalin Junkies Too??

Well said HL, i couldn't agree more. They volunteer and could say no just like everybody else.

Despite the warnings that people were told not to go to the beach and surf, they took their own life, in their own hands. No ones fault but their own on that matter. They should have known better than to try and go surf in the storm. they must not have cared about their life, doing something so idiotic and stupid. Serves them right, Sorry to say that but was done is done. No turning back. Just hope no one else died because of idiotic decisions made on part of irenes path.

When in doubt, apply rule ·223 or ·308 -- unless you have a more preferred calibre.

Accidents are one thing, but "Adrenaline junkies" such as this person, or inexperienced climbers who get stranded on mountains in snowstorms don't elicit much sympathy from me. Same goes for excessive drinkers/drug users/lifelong smokers. If you are careless with your life, you chance losing it suddenly, and may not end up dying in your sleep at an advanced age. More of a tragedy for his family and friends than him.
