Agreed. Often the good vs bad decisions are a result of people believing (erroneously) that some piece of technology will keep them safe from themselves. I often tell people if "you" are not comfortable entering into the activity without relying on the technology perhaps "you" should think twice about the activity and the level of difficulty "you" are capable of dealing with. The technology can be a life-saver of last resort, but should not be relied on to complete the "adventure". One's skill, knowledge and experience should be what the person relies on, and technology is solely a safety harness.
