Oh my God. Are you really suggesting that whatever personal circumstances somebody might encounter whilst playing rugby, motocross, weightlifting etc is comparable to the dangers that  might arise while surfing in a hurricane which would necessitate rescue thereby putting third parties (none of which are affected by your other examples) at risk due to high winds, rough waves and a wicked undertow. Seriously.

There's a reason we don't have big waves in Bermy. It ain't for surfing. Wanna ride the big ones, like I said, I hear Sunset Beach is a surfers paradise. Although those surfers might be aware of the risks, you can bet your bottom dollar that if one of em runs into difficulty he/she is going to expect to be rescued. And it's selfish to put other lives at risk for an adrenaline rush. Want an adrenaline rush? Stick to the third lane. 

Absolutely correct Spin.....damn good job................

First will be Tourism visits to Hahyoo Haffnarz......... As for the "rescuer"?  .....Jingus......get a bleddy drywerz lysance ann lurn dee dee roolz uv dee rahoyehd.........

Lets have another disaster or similar...and to use UE's thinghy....'who gets reamed'.....................

Gotta run...........surfs up................................

load of crap... they made me do far more dangerous stuff in the regiment to my life than surfing in those waves the other day!!

No one expects to be rescued when out there, in fact where most of us go only your mates can do the rescuing if needed!!
