Other times they are not.

You make a very valid point. When I think back on things that I did in my college years to mid 20's, I shudder, and am reminded of an old saying my grandmother used to use, "there but for the Grace of God go I". The other elephant in the room on this one is the booze factor. The facts are not out and it would be disrespectful to the deceased and the injured to speculate, but we all know that stupid and risky behavior doesn't seem stupid or risky when you're under the influence of booze or drugs.
