Since I live near a group of mountains were there are rescues or, in the worst case, recovery of bodies almost every week I have to say I find that disturbingly in bad taste. I am not normally upset by a bit of black humour but I would guess almost everyone in this town knew someone who has died in the mountains. In fact I was nearly witness to a Morgan owning friend having a serious incident but fortunately he managed to arrest his slide after a couple of metres and I was able to help him back up onto the trail.
A big fright for both of us but no serious consequences.
