Keeping in mind that...
- We are talking about a grown man that was not known to be breaking any laws in regards to his diving.
- Nobody, including the recovery diver, seems to have known that he was bringing his kid on some of these dives.
- The father had a life long history (based on his arrest records) of bad judgment that resulted in other tragedies.
One of the early videos I saw had a guy saying that he sat there (presumably at Eagle's Nest) many times and wondered if they would make it back.
Reference the post above mine, the youngster was not a child, eg 6, 7, 8 years old. He was 15 and is reported to have made several posts about his diving exploits. He also probably could read and there was adequate warning signage.
Update: I looked for that video but did not find it before making this post. Will continue to look for it.
