In Mt. Denali State Park, Alaska, the rangers sit mountaineers down and make them watch a video before they start climbing. But that is a state park and they have the right to mandate that kind of thing. Perhaps someone could make a scary safety video that could be handed to new buyers? I bet the Coast Guard would even foot the bill here in the US. Or maybe WE should. Our tax-dollars are paying for all those searches. That sounds really cold-blooded (no pun intended..) but it's true!
