It’s common sense to us but it’s based on what you know. I went to St. John’s island one time and was swimming off a boat and they had to tell me, don’t go by this protruding piece of land as the current will rip a person out to sea. Hey, I grew up in a desert and didn’t know how to “read” the land there.
Threw on a black dress, then goes out in the hottest part of the day, to ride in the full sun, on a desert, with reflected heat from the sand. Sorry for their loss, but it was a profound lack of common sense.
I agree that the rental company should have warned or have a policy to refuse to rent when the temperature reached X degrees.
Maybe it’s common sense not to drive in remote areas in the hot summer, but it’s also common decency to feel some compassion for people who make mistakes. They lost their lives. That is a heavy price to pay for them and those who loved them. There is no need to pile on ridicule or condemnation at this point.
I’ve had some experience with search and rescue (recover) out here. Back east most of the woods, and trails, and parks are still a mile or two from civilization. The visitors from back east simply have no idea how remote and how hot it can be out here. That is why it happens so often. Its common sense to you because you are from here. You only know what you know.
Hints: burn fingers on car door, auto ac is not cooling well, getting out at the venue you instantly feel the heat from the sun. Sympathy for the deceased and familes, yes. But still a factual observation, lacked common sense.
seems a bit like common sense to not drive atvs out to remote areas in the middle of summer.
