Lake Muroc Diver

Fuzz Mutton, cool name by the way. You are correct in your analysis of some of the roughness of some replies. This is not the most "PC" group, SCUBA divers I mean.
As a comparison, I used to ride crotch rockets through California rush hour traffic. When one of my two wheelin brothers got smashed in traffic there was a true feeling of a loss to the group. However there was also a underlying acknowledgement of the "play with fire you get burned" sentiment also. If We wanted safety we would be driving a Volvo Sedan with a 1.8 L.
If the Shark divers were concerned about personal safety, they might have been diving in a pool.
My analysis is we as a group realise that the thrill seekers want to have the brush with death for whatever reason. If occasionally one in the thrill seekers does not get killed or mutilated by the source of the danger then that behavior has lost its appeal. This poor soul rolled the dice and lost. Sorry for his family,indeed, did they know his foolhardy choice? He did, like I did when I flew through traffic splitting lanes on a sportbike. I doubt that the fool in the Volvo I might have run into would have shared my choice. The poor shark community is an innocent bystander sucked into the accident by instinct. Lawyers would get involved.
