You do realize there are insurance policies for things like this, right? Or you have government policies like the NPS policy to not generally bill people for rescues in national parks, and the cost of rescues is built into their user fees and government funding.

When it comes to the cost of government agencies that have statutory search and rescue responsibilities (e.g., the Coast Guard), people should not be sent bills for rescue efforts unless maybe they were conducting intentionally reckless activities like kayaking from California to Hawaii, which some idiot actually tried.
