One true thing about Mother Nature and her great outdoors- she is an non-discriminating force- if you break her laws: Gravity, think about mountain climbing) force of hydraulics (waterfalls, rip tides) wind shifts -- sky-diving- whatever- she does not discriminate in her wrath- it matters not to her if you are the president of IBM, or a janitor working nights in the Empire State Bldg-- If you "push your luck" in the great outdoors, you will pay the price, sooner or later.
