Trivia
Twenty-two people died but only twenty bodies were recovered. Australian teenager Winona Langford and New Zealand guide Hayden Marshall-Inman - are still missing despite repeated ground and sea searches. Their bodies are believed to be in the water.

How much risk is acceptable risk? How well informed are you before you take your family on an adventure excursion? Risk cannot be avoided otherwise you will have no experiences worth living for but where is the tipping point? In retrospect it seems that these excursions should not have been allowed but hindsight is 20/20. As a person who studies risk for a living, my only advice is to take risks that are known but avoid the unknown. I recommend watching this documentary for this reason; to give you food for thought. Considering it was only 3 years ago I commend the participants for their conteributions and the makers for their discretion.
