If you're talking about absolute numbers, I don't even know why you want to mention this. Otherwise, it's just plainly not true.

My comment is not about dead people but about those who're still alive. I generally don't like people dying. I hate it. So, I don't like when this "so cool to climb Everest" story ends in such horrible results so often, and still those romanticized climbers or people seeking fame and glory with help of media swirl another batches of careless people to play this russian roulette. Everest is just too dangerous. And it's also not true saying they don't harm anybody, they harm their families and friends. Seeing all those bodies and knowing that it's still not enough to make people think more clear just fills me up with emotions and that's why I comment. And if you tell me I'm not allowed to express my feelings toward anything I'm not taking part of and you're getting to get personal, then I'm afraid I don't have anything to discuss with you.
