It's a very weird attitude commonly seen among the segment of the population who never travels in the mountains or backcountry. Schadenfreude and twisting the actions of climbers to make it seem as though their judgment were obviously flawed. A lot of dumb, ignorant stuff does indeed take place in the mountains, and that sometimes results in death, but some incredibly experienced & competent people die too and are tarred with the same brush. See the tragic deaths last week of David Lama et al. which was greeted by many a news article comment decrying "adrenaline junkies" and how foolish they were to climb during the month of April due to avalanche risk (the commenters apparently ignorant of the entire field of snow science). This is turning into a rant, but to sum it up I really just wish people would extend basic benefit of the doubt to people who die or are injured in the great outdoors before taking the opportunity to pop off and turn their deaths into some kind of joke or morality tale.
