Sometimes that "little voice inside your head" is really a life-saver!
I can't speak for others, but when that proverbial "warning bell" goes off in my head, I pay attention!
Sure, when we were all younger we took some risks, but as we got older the tools and methods of taking risks got bigger and more dangerous.
That reminds me of the boater regulation that states "life jackets MUST be worn from 9/15 thru 3/15.
I wear mine EVERY time I kayak.
When asked why, I simply say "I can't plan ahead for the event where I get knocked out (of the kayak and unconscious), and this will help keep me afloat until help arives."
We don't normally plan to put ourselves in harms way, although some of our actions could be called into question.
I pray for the family, and hope for the best possible outcome.
