I don't think I can disagree with you. I think most of us have done something dangerous with or without assessing the risk. I do not know the area. I am wondering why either a private or public party did not dispatch on foot that night. A single hiker would have been a bad idea. But a group with good lights and communication ie cell phone and or radios might have been able to help.
My condolences to the family on this tragic loss.
