I agree about mountains, but I don't think the risks are similar on the sea. Modern large vessels are relatively safe in all weather. Plane and helicopter pilots follow safety protocols, I don't think they gonna fly into a storm.

When a rich guy on an around the world sailing attempt gets into trouble, someone has to go rescue him, often in extreme conditions. It is one thing to risk one's life to save fishers or merchant sailors, another to risk one's life saving a bored millionaire trying to sail across the Pacific on a raft made of soda bottles.
