I wonder how this happened.

It is interesting to hear what people define as an acceptable level of risk.  So for those who feel that diving from an unattended boat is an acceptable level of risk, what level of responsibility would you be willing to take should you fail to properly manage or ignore that risk and find yourself in trouble?  Financial reimbursement of rescue service?  Pre-notification and subsequent denial of related rescue service?  Insurance notification?  Fines?  Public apology?  When the cause of an accident is directly related to the lack of simple prevention methods or gross ignorance of commonly accepted risk management standards, should there be accountability? 

I say yes....you gamble and lose...the gambler shoulders the burden of loss.
