Pros And Cons Of Rescue Services

Furthermore, people who cause their own downfalls should be forced to pay for the cost of their own rescues because it's often on the case of they were too over confident and they underestimated the wilderness and all of its life threatening capabilities. Such as in “Too Build a Fire” by Jack London, the main character embarks on an expedition to go scope out the upcoming group for him and his group. Beforehand one of the leaders of the tribes who lives in this area year round

In order to continue climbing Everest, many aspects of climbing need to be improved before more people endanger their lives to try and reach the roof of the world. The guides have some areas that need the most reform. During the ascension of Everest the guides made a plethora mistakes that seemed insignificant but only aided in disaster. The guides first mistake is allowing “any bloody idiot [with enough determination] up” Everest (Krakauer 153). By allowing “any bloody idiot” with no climbing experience to try and climb the most challenging mountain in the world, the guides are almost inviting trouble. Having inexperienced climbers decreases the trust a climbing team has in one another, causing an individual approach to climbing the mountain and more reliance on the guides. While this approach appears fine, this fault is seen in addition to another in Scott Fischer’s expedition Mountain Madness. Due to the carefree manner in which the expedition was run, “clients [moved] up and down the mountain independently during the acclimation period, [Fischer] had to make a number of hurried, unplanned excursions between Base Camp and the upper camps when several clients experienced problems and needed to be escorted down,” (154). Two problems present in the Mountain Madness expedition were seen before the summit push: the allowance of inexperienced climbers and an unplanned climbing regime. A third problem that aided disaster was the difference in opinion in regards to the responsibilities of a guide on Everest. One guide “went down alone many hours ahead of the clients” and went “without supplemental oxygen” (318). These three major issues: allowing anyone up the mountain, not having a plan to climb Everest and differences in opinion. All contributed to the disaster on Everest in

Having your life in danger is something that not many people can imagine. You only get one life and when it is endangered you panic. By instinct the first thing you do is call for help and hope that someone comes. But what about the lives of rescuers that come to help. Uncountable numbers of rangers, firefighters, police, etc. have died trying to save people when there lives are endangered. On top of that who puts in the money? Rescues can cost thousands of dollars and who pays for that? You may be surprised but everyone pays for the rescue of people who put themselves at risk through tax dollars. It isn’t fair that we have to give up our hard earned money for the mistakes of others. People should have to pay for their own SAR. People should

Do people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? Mountain climbing is an activity of climbing mountains. For helicopter services, each cost about $2 million apiece and the helicopter could only take one climber. The air is very thin on the higher level of the mountain, climbers may have faced bad weather. Members of climber are increasing in the climbing season, many of them are in the death zone that there are traffic jams. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves in a risky because people may die, and bad environment.

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain.

Secondly, people who end up hurt in life-or-death situations waste a lot of money. As stated in “The Cost of Survival”, the people stranded at sea costed $663,000. The authors agrees that they waste a lot of money, “In the end, taxpayers cover the cost of rescue for those who put themselves at risk. Maybe there are better uses for our money.” As stated in the text, people argue that they’re not going to call for help, knowing that they will be charged. However, most people don’t understand that “many rescue workers have lost their own lives saving others.” If you can simply be responsible for yourself and not be a fool, you’ll be okay physically.

The duty of easy rescue is perhaps one of the most heavily debated and most controversial topics in criminal law. The origin of this duty is Biblical and it aims to punish the so-called ‘bad Samaritan’ who fails to render assistance to a person in peril . Unlike the Anglo-American jurisdictions , most European states recognise the duty of easy rescue, albeit to different extents . Scots law per se does not impose a duty of easy rescue on ordinary citizens and failure to act constitutes a criminal offence only in exceptional circumstances; these include ex gratia close proximity relationships . In this essay, the author will purport to elucidate whether Scots law shall impose a duty of easy rescue, and if so, to what extent shall such duty be recognised in Scotland.

Unfortunately, the importance of doing this has come about from professionals failing to protect Victoria Climbie who died in 2000. Her death was preventable as doctors, police and social workers all came into contact with her and had

The second reason people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is mountain climbing is difficult

“Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.” Joy Mangano. This proves that although risk-taking can be accepted, you must be experienced in the risk that you’re taking in order to be safe. My first source, Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest is transcribed from Robert Siegel’s radio show, and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform readers. Another source I analyzed is “Why Everest?” The article was authored by Guy Moreau and is a nonfiction article that is meant to inform readers. The third source I researched is Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier and is a nonfiction newspaper article meant to inform readers. The author of the article is The Seattle Times. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because it puts more people at risk, it is cost-heavy, and because they choose to risk their lives.

The second reason people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is helicopter rescues

in 2014 the United Nation’s refugee agency reported that the number of society forced to escape their houses across the global had outstripped 50 million their times since the World War II Crisis. The leader of Salvation Army territorial Ollie and his wife were listening to the report about refugee on the radio then they decided that they wanted see the refugee. Next Monday the local newspaper ran a story saying The Salvation Army was receiving donations of clothes for refugees, even though Christine did not ask for that. She and Ollie only found out when a TV station phoned to ask how the clothing appeal was going. That was first they heard, they said “we felt this was God’s way of saying to use that we must care about the refugees.

In all three article, “Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest”, “Why Everest?”, and “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” all have different points of view regarding the issue of emergency rescues of mountain climbers.

Can you save other people’s lives when you are in danger or close to death? I would say “No” most of the time because my life is the most important thing in the universe at least for me. This is a quite difficult and controversial question, but I assume that the majority of people would say no as well. I don’t understand why the climbers take risks that they can die.

Imagine you are one of the highest mountains in the world. You don’t care about the risks because there are rescue services to help you. But what if one day they all decide to quit or they don’t come to you in time? There are amazing climbers who are still willing to make the climb but when they make a mistake there won’t be someone behind you to bring you back up when you fall.There are people in this world who are willing to take risks and reach their own Mount Everest but sometimes the price can be too high to bear. For example, having the person who rescued you died trying. That person is part of the rescue services. When climbers are putting their own life on the line, they shouldn’t be demanding the rescue services to save them when they are putting themselves at risk.
