    knowing there’s a 25% chance they’ll be giving their lives for you?

    There isn’t. The person above is using a misleading stat, based on a misunderstanding of the stats.

    Look at how many people are in the photos of the climbers all stepping over Mohammed Hassan here.

    In common sense terms if this bizarre “25% die” stat were real, at least a dozen of them would have died that same day.
