The problem is that some people are engaging in needlessly risky activities, they then put the people that rescue them at risk. For example, in the UK we regularly have people rescued from mountains who are woefully ill equipped, like this guy:

Yet properly equipped mountaineers can get unlucky and die anyway. The difference between death by hypothermia because you climbed a mountain in only your underpants and being well equipped but getting hit by an avalanche? In the first case the coroner has a verdict of "death by misadventure" because you took unnecessary risks.

It's become a sort of joke in croatia, tourists in flip-flops trying to hike into mountains (famous stereotype is of czech tourists), and currently the rescue by HGSS (mountain rescue) is free of charge, and they often have to deploy a military helicopter (they don't have their own), which is costing the tax payers a pretty penny. The rescuers are mostly volunteers.
