FistEnergy posted:A couple of things have been rattling around in my head since I watched The Alpinist yesterday. 100% agree with this had the exact same thought when they were running through his climb rules - not having any method to communicate with the outside world. 'Well, one day he's going to die to exposure with a broken leg then.' I mean, that wasn't the case on the final climb, since he and the oher climber both had phones and were sending people videos/messages. But did the docco mention if they had locator beacons in the case of an avalanche? It doesn't state if they do or not. If they did, the search for their bodies would have been much simpler, right? If you go climbing in country like that, without those basic and widely used safety tools, then poo poo like this is going to happen. That's the choice they made, that was the risk they thought was acceptable and n must eventually equal 1.

Has anyone else been hooking into the Cave Diving videos that the youtube algorithm has been vomiting up for the past six months or is that just me? It seems like there's a lot of crossover in the "Climbers die in horrific ways" and "Untrained morons diving into caves for the first time die in horrific ways" content. Similar thing with shipwrecks.

My favourite thing about cave divers are the types, like the Dive Talk hosts, who insist that a lot of the cave diving death videos on youtube are primarily from the mid 20th century, when Cave Diving was a new sport and a lot of the safety guidelines were not in place. With proper training, gear, and by following standard safety protocol, then cave diving is a perfectly safe sport and it's only these yahoos like freedivers that are still causing underwater caves to be considered as 'scary' or 'dangerous'. Except, even with the proper gear and training, cave divers still die all the time.
