I agree with the fact that some people couldn't leave. I think the point here is the idiots who CHOOSE to stay. They are usally the first to bitch that no one came to save their sorry ass. The people who couldn't leave are usually grateful for whatever help they get.
Up here in Michigan (and I'm sure in other places where ice fishing is possible) Darwin nominees constantly have to be rescued from the ice despite repeated warnings of thin ice. They must think "those warnings are for inexperienced fishermen"
A few years ago the state passed a law that anyone who had to be rescued after the warnings were issued would get charged for the rescue. And it still happens several times a year.
