Honestly, I struggle with this - The incredible power of nature, those who wish to take it on - and the undoubted skill they have.

HOWEVER - When things go "Pear-Shaped" and it can and WILL do when you take on nature, why should others suffer trying to save you?

Guys testing themselves in this or other storms, just for the thrill? Well, they should be alone in my book.... Sorry.
