Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

I was praying for a happy ending. I was really depressed when the news came out that he died. Probably to his last ounce of energy.

Could happen to anyone of us. All you can do is be prepared as best you can.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Bah! He was just trying to save himself and turnabout is fairplay:giggling: j/k


That has nothing to do with the fact that he put himself in that position to begin with.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!:jump:

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

WTF?????

Depressed????

What about the soldier in the field that IS doing the right things and didn't put himself in the position to be in harms way except to serve for his country? What about the person that was just stabbed by some idiot because he looked at his wheels the wrong way?

Geezus!!! The guy put himself and his family in that position and paid the ultimate price, he made boneheaded decisions and all you are going on is this "hero" persona that the media has painted.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Sure... maybe we should start a list detailing what to do to avoid future problems if someone gets bit by a snake or other creature.

You know if you guys with your expert analysis on what one should have done not to die would just speak up before, no one would die except maybe due to old age. Don't you people feel the responsibility to speak up and save some lives? I'm sure that guy would've appreciated a call from one of you telling him not to go down that road.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

First thing you don't do is continue drinking and ignore the bite.... mkay

Secondly, to not die, don't do stupid stuff. Sh!t will happen enough by itself, no need to help it along.

???:confused: :lame:


Anyone who "brings" their kids to Moab? Please, wear a sign on your back that says "kick me" so I know who you are.:fdance:

I don't see what the big deal is about having sympathy for a tragic situation or why some people are so hard up about making a dead man look stupid.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Start some threads about people dying in car accidents because they weren't smart enough to take a different road that day. Or maybe someone who was such an idiot that they had a medical problem that wasn't found until too late and died. We will discuss those then if you want.

Just remember, there is a chance I will out live all you! You guys are going to feel pretty silly after I post what you should've done not to die. :giggling:

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

The dead man made himself look stupid.

Sympathy has nothing to do with seeing something for what it really is as compared to simply taking what the media feeds.

Why isn't the wife the hero.... hell, she's the one that saved the kid's lives and wasn't driving.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

The guy made the wrong turn. I'm sure we've all made that mistake before.:confused:


Given the situation they were in, he did what he thought was best, to save his family.

Too bad he didn't carry a crystal ball like some here.:clapping:

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

I dunno, a family lost in the woods and the father trekking out after a week spent in the car- the family being saved from a cell phone ping and then finding the poor man 5 days later dead from trying to save them or whatever is a pretty amazing story no matter how you tell it.

Post up some of those other stories that happened recently and I'm sure the response would be the same.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

did you lose your concentration? What happened to the rest of the story.

He made a wrong turn, then decided to turn down a side road and drove down it for 15 miles and pulled over to sleep for the night. While they were asleep they got snowed in.

Don't make it out like he just made a wrong turn.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

She is a hero- and a grieving widow.

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

Hopefully, if I die from something like this, You would learn something and not repeat the same mistakes.(plural) And I really hope you never let anyone from San Francisco drive you around in the snow in unfamiliar territory. :beerchug:

Re: Tragic. And just before XMAS.
 

I remember spotting H2Finally up Tip Over Challenge. He had wifey and kids riding with him. I'm just wondering if the same compassion would have been given if Tip Over lived up to it's name?


Or would they blame the spotter?:giggling:
