LOL, agreed. But I could easily see an outfitter countersuing if the
passengers or their families sued for negligence. The countersuit
would be based on the passengers conspiring to put the guide (and
outfitter) in danger. And it probably wouldn't deter future
passengers...at least those who weren't planning on being idiots.
