Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sorry but anyone poorly equipped, without the technical ability, alone, clothed in jeans and leather jacket who was told that he should not do do the run beforehand but still carries on is frankly asking for it!
Frankly this is one of those examples of survival of the fittest/smartest and the gene pool is probably now healthier as a result!

Hi roga, I agree with you, the one thing that you cannot legislate for is others stupidity. Its just a shame that others will have to put themselves in danger to try and find him.

It's possible the guy was lost, and misunderstood the answers to his questions or the information he was given.

About 20 years ago , the top of Flaine in freezing strong wind/blizzard/fog situation:
My wife and I inching our way down, deeply wishing we were not there. Seemingly we are the only idiots on the mountain.
Another skier comes over to us and asks if we know the way. Jeans, denim jacket, no hat, no gloves, no goggles.
He was really suffering.
I leant him my hat and pulled my hood drawstrings really tight.
My wife took off he inner-gloves and leant them to him. We felt our way slowly down, from piste pole to piste pole.
We didn't see another soul until we were almost at the bottom.
30 mins later we were down, he was a blue colour and not really mentally or physically all there.
We helped him into a restaurant and left him by the fire to recover.

Whilst, prima facie, he may have been stupid, that is no reason for you lot to lawd it.
The facts may be incorrect, he may not have understood ..... then again we all know Brit skiers are the best in the World.
A mother / wife/ girlfriend/sibling has lost a loved one ... oh, that I was as perfect as you and didn't make mistakes ...
