Who pays to rescue daredevils that get in trouble on federal lands in the US?
Millions are spent rescuing people caught out doing brave/stupid things on public lands in the US.
I’ve often wondered who foots the bill?
Deaths, rescue mark perilous weekend on Mt. Everest
As a side note, I often hear that the families of Sherpas killed guiding expeditions on Everest don’t receive life benefits. Couldn’t that be taken care of by requiring everyone making the trek to pay into some sort of insurance pool?
