I don't think anyone is saying she should not be allowed to take the risk, she just needs to be responsible for the risks.

Dan (ishoot308) and others took a risk by staying on their islands during the storm, that's their right. But as the MP announced before the storm, they were on there own and rescue would be difficult and likely delayed until after the brunt of the storm.

Imagine some islander had a heart attack during the storm, the rescuers delayed their response and he died. Could the islander's family sue the rescuers? How about after Jimmy Sokolov gets a team of doctors to swear he would have lived if he had prompt attention?
