I haven’t landed at a position on it either, but I could definitely see how if people understood they had to pay at least some portion of the rescue costs, they will try to be more educated and prepared when venturing out into the wild/at sea. Its extremely important to take this stuff seriously and too many people already treat nature like a joke and get themselves in terrible situations cause they just know a helicopter can come pick them up*
It’s brand new too, I literally asked the dev for one tap comment collapsing and he added it the next day or so.
As a fellow Software Engineer/architect myself, really nothing but praise for these guys.
