[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 665679, member: 4386"] They are reasonable with reasonable people, and they don't want people to risk their lives if that is even a possibility (being hopelessly lost qualifies, or being unable to notify people who are expecting you home - because a search would probably ultimately be initiated anyway and a beacon reduces the time to find you and a lot of worry).. Also, if you accidentally set it off but immediately notify them of the error, or stand in an exposed place where they can immediately locate you, they will not charge, But stupid stuff (like missing a ferry) would get no sympathy. I liked the one where a cow activated one that had fallen out of a helicopter....not sure about that one.... [/QUOTE]
