The guy might be a Richard Cranium, but that don't disqualify him from being rescued. I'm not saying that I agree with these gung ho types who go out and do crazy things, sail into cyclones, climb Mt Everest in the nude, etc. etc. but I reckon we got to go and rescue them, even if it is only to put them away somewhere safe where they can't hurt themselves any more.
The last line, about the weather, was right. Victoria, the best state in Hoganland, is having some unseasonable weather for late spring. In the middle of a drought, but we still had snow falls today, some down to sea level.

What a silly Butt Head.  Of course we should rescue him (if indeed he does actually require rescuing)... but definitely make him pay for it!!! L.T |

I think an idiot should get ONE rescue attempt. If successful, the person should be counselled and warned that if he/she decides to continue a "life of adventure", it would be with the understanding that no one else will ever again risk their lives on that person's behalf. It really bothers me to read about cases where someone does something truly stupid and one or more rescuers get killed trying to save the fool.
As most of you know, I'm a person who has personally done WAY too many stupid and dangerous things. However, I always do them in ways where I don't risk anyone's hide but my own (and occasionally that of my fellow stupid participants). If I injure myself, I can live with that. If I kill myself, I can live with that (figuratively speaking). If my own foolish actions lead to the death of someone who wasn't a direct participant, I can't live with that. So far, I have a perfect record of no innocent deaths or injuries (but quite a few guilty injuries).
If someone really wants to enter the Darwin Awards, don't let them drag bystanders and rescuers down with them.
