You are very patient There are some of us who know what pressures are put on the rescue services to get a job done and how a lot of the pressure is generated by us the people who do the job. We pressure ourselves because we have been trained to "save" peoples lives and are generally called as a last resort when other "cheaper" methods have either been tried or are deemed not to be viable from the start.

The big difference between us and Walt's is that we have been trained to resit these pressures and brought up in an environment where our experience allows us to make safe and rational decisions under the extreme pressure of there being someone's life in danger.

I can understand someone wanting to offer their services for the good of the community but when they start inventing and wearing badges on flying suits one begins to worry that they may not understand the pressures that rescue crews work under and go one step too far with tragic consequences
