Which is why the Webster's Dictionary definition of "stupid" or "astonished"
seems to fit the description, im(ns)ho.   The unprepared reaction to the
situation is "astonishment" that it actually happened -- even after they've
been warned that it could.

aka "you mean gravity applies to moi?"

As long as "WE" do not put in a cell phone call for "help" -- I think we're
safe -- I would hope that the individual who calls in to be rescued is
charged and that they do NOT tack on a surcharge on backpacking equipment.

If the Federal Govmint gets involved, could happen.
