>> If the person dies doing something they love, who are we to judge?

"We" are a society who has decided, according to our morals, that preventable loss of life is tragic and we should do everything in our power to avoid it.

And why is that "judging"? The point is not to bestow some moral value on the person putting themselves in mortal dagner for "something they love". It is, rather, to stop them from needlessly and pointlessly killing themselves while at it.

Your comment expresses a certain view, that looking into others' lives and forming opinions about their choices is somehow morally wrong. An alternative view is that it's the responsible thing to do, when one lives in common with other people.

Bringing in morals is a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line then?

Based on the number of times he did this is done before dying, I’d say he’s got say a 1 in 100 chance of death.

Sky divers have to sign forms repeatedly at drop zones that they understand dying is a very real risk and it’s a 1 in 20000 risk of death. For BASE jumping, risks are even higher. Should skydiving be banned too because ”preventable loss of life is tragic”?

What about car racing?

What about rock climbing?

What about <insert one of a hundred other risky “sports”>?
