[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48889892]Having rescue crews put themselves at risk when these action-loving people start begging for help costs money.[/QUOTE] To be fair that is true for a lot of generally acceptable hobbies with inherent risk. Hiking in the wilderness, caving, certain extreme watersports like cliff diving, winter sports like skiing and snowboarding on hazardous mountainous terrain, etc etc. I am willing to bet that there are more people who require assistance from highly trained and expensive wilderness SAR crews while hiking than experienced urban explorers requiring rescue form an abandoned building.

I get anxious just crossing bridges due to my fear of heights, yet they do that? :nope:

He was being worked on for about three hours.
Huh, an abandoned, rotted out building is dangerous? Who'd have fucking thought.
