I think I get it. Everyone knows his name, but no one knows the names of people who lived and died trying to rescue people like him.

Well, don't leave us hanging after suggesting such moral failing with so much contempt.

How many people actually die trying to rescue people like him?

Here's one from my local area - the climbers shouldn't have been up there, the incoming weather was predictable, they thought they could beat it, they didn't, and as a result, a rescuer was killed by an avalanche trying to save them - but they were all killed by avalanches also.
