In my post, I believe I stated that it was my opinion!! Of course everyone must make their own decisions and of course, no one thinks bad things will happen to them. It has nothing to do with living in a bubble as people make choices all the time. However, when something bad happens and it is reported then people discuss previous incidents and then comment on why did those people take such stupid risks!! Why would someone go snorkeling if they don't swim???
Come on, if this person drowned everyone would be all over this story as how ridiculous was it for a non-swimmer to go and do an activity without any swimming skills??? People drown even if they are swimmers but we still go in the water but why would you do this if you don't swim???
Living in a bubble, I don't think so, common sense is more appropriate!
If you go back far enough (it appears that you are a new poster to this forum??) people have been badly hurt on ATV tours. Some people are perhaps more skilled or have used ATV's before, however, most people are on a trip and think this would be a fun adventure. If you read back, the safety standards that we expect in North America are not the same on islands and as a result there have been some serious accidents. I am not going to go into details as I did not post the reports but go back and read them. As an example, a while back a poster wrote about his wife having had a serious accident that involved her having to be airlifted to Miami. The company did not supply helmets (this apparently has changed with some of the companies and some only give them upon request) and she sustained a major head injury. He was warning people.
To conclude, I respect your opinion as I had hoped you would have respected mine. Just felt I should clarify my comments.
