Such tributes are a feature of todays media orientated society. Sure it's a tragedy when some young person is killed and it will impact hugely on the family probably for a very long time. However, the victim was doing something he knew he shouldn't and knew was dangerous. Yes, we all took a few risks when we were young and didn't always do exactly as we were told but the actions are selfish. There is no consideration for others in these cases. Some poor sod or some unfortunate business will be castigated, fined, imprisoned or whatever for not taking every possible measure no matter how ridiculous to prevent suicidally inclined individuals from entering dangerous situations. Will the "no win no pay" lawyer brigade now arrive on the scene to try to procure large settlements for the bereaved but mainly to line their own pockets?
