Those rides looked awesome though.
Can't say I've ever "officially" looked into them, as I don't have the time to do something like that now, but I doubt they'd actually drop you. Most tours that I've been on have at least 2 leaders for the group, one of whom will always stay behind with whoever needs it. The service is one of the reasons the prices are high.
