Mathew's comments: When base-jumping goes wrong

    What an ass. As they say, you reap what you sow. The thing that frustrates me about extreme sports gone awry is how the participants may endanger their rescuers through their own idiocy. It's not a simple or safe task to dangle from a helicopter.

    I've always believed that people who risk their lives in this fashion (see also leaving ski runs and getting lost) and require rescue should have to pay the costs of their rescue.

    Actually I'm pretty sure in a lot of places you do get the bill for your rescue costs...

    It's a good thing that he didn't die.
