In my book there are two views there is the one that if you fall into trouble with in the rules, meaning your on marked trails etc. and twist and ankle etc. then the cost of a rescue isn't usually that much, and no you shouldn't be responsible, accidents happen.

However when the hiker, skiier, snowmobilier, etc. uses poor judgement and gets hurt, by leaving marked area, wondering into the woods off a trail etc. then yes they should be responsible for the cost of their rescue.... other wise people never learn from stupidity, they have to be made to suffer some....
