Is it so sad that someone died doing something they loved ?


Assuming he knew the risks and accepted them - as would any sane normal person undertaking a risky activity in less than favourable conditions - then it was his free choice.


I'm sure he'd have preferred to return safely, and no doubt any surviving relatives feel the same way.


Notwithstanding, RIP
