The 'gung-ho' type of SAR pilot/crew tends to be young and inexperienced. At 19 you think you're immortal, and so are your fellow crew members. Experience and practice show your limitations and ability - I will draw the line at a job that another crew may have no difficulty with. If you seriously injure a crew member trying to medevac a person with a 'poorly finger', you're in the wrong job.
