The concept of one's personal behavior putting recuers at risk is interesting.

There are many activities that could put others at risk. Some are more direct, some are less so.

If I eat too many cheeseburgers and have a heart attack, am I putting the ambulance crew and those in their path, at risk?

If I screw up and overload my woodstove, am I putting fire fighters at risk?

There is a line, albeit blurred, somewhere. I hope that society's views on risk don't result in all of us sitting around doing nothing.

Oh wait, that has its own set of risks as well!
