How dumb, if the dude wants to use a poorly made vessel to try to cross the atlantic, let him.

Only if he signs a waiver so that the Coasties don't have to intervene.

Kill yourself however you want, just don't waste our money and time.

I would agree...except look at all the resources that were wasted trying to recover survivors from the Oceangate implosion.

The world acted like those rich fucks brought their treasure down with them.

Everyone's entitled to a rescue mission should they need it, even if they do put themselves in danger. That's the agreement, that's what the coast guard are for. Of course you'll probably get arrested at the end of it for wasting everyone's time but you'll live.

In fairness to them they didn't know they were putting themselves in danger they just didn't do their due diligence, and anyway one of them was a kid.

He didn't want to be rescued. They should have just let him go
