I like people who always simplify everything to extremes. They always DIE in their arguments to end them. I know that if I do something like break my leg, I rather be solo than have any stupid friends in my group who might hurt themselves trying to help me!
What about comparing apples to apples? What about a group of conservative knowledgable moderatly testosterone males? :tdo13:
I heard they encourage people to go out like that Aaron Ralston guy doing dangerous shit with no preparations so you too can have the privelage of cutting off your own arm with a dull knife.
Clearly its safer to not have any backup because other groups have stupid people in them. The logic is brilliant! Always assume when you choose a group of your friends that your friends are DUMBASSES. Clearly solo is the way to go!
Beacons definately encourage risky activity! I think I'd drive faster if I had a modern car with such speed encouraging features as antilock brakes, crumple zones, airbags and seatbelts. That is why I drive this:

It's much safer highway!
