I agree with this too, and if this kid paid his hiking insurance premiums, then the insurance should pick up the bill.

He paid those premiums everytime the government took their share off of the top of every dollar he earned or spent and then used it to pay the salary of the people employed to rescue stupid hikers.

Probably not, since he is 17 and hiking, not working.

Besides, I pay those taxes too, and I say if he is dumb enough to get into that situation, leave him there.
Whatever happened to the overwhelming support for personal responsibility on MC forums?

I'm all for personal responsibility. The kid was an idiot for getting lost. But, he didn't do anything extraordinarily stupid. He got lost. It happens all the time.

I think I will disagree with the majority on this one.

17 miles isn't all that rough for someone who is in good shape, hell I can do that before lunch. The story doesn't also say what the guy's reasons were for going on. Was the terrain behind him worse than what he was expecting? Would a shortcut have taken 5 miles off the trail? Was there possibly another trail that he was heading to?

Derf, the kid was an idiot. Everybody knows that much like crashing, getting lost is a choice.

Did you choose to ride your R6 too fast for your abilities?

One more time....

If the search and rescue people weren't searching and rescuing, then they would be paid for doing what exactly? Or is search and rescue somehow not in the job description?

Yes. As you also chose to ride too fast through town when you broke your pelvis?

And neither of us paid for any medical care, so I think they're both bad examples..
