These by definition are not normal people. If you can afford a $250k ticket to the Titanic, you can afford to be properly informed about risk. Hell, you could literally hire your own engineer for a full year to evaluate that risk, go over things, and have money leftover to hire a lawyer to go through the CYA forms.

>I wouldn't know, I'd have to defer to the "experts" who I am entrusting my life to.

We shouldn't consider someone an expert just because they run a business. Stockton was clearly not an expert in any of this, except maybe marketing.

Shouldn't at the very least, rich people be expected to have some personal responsibility? They have no excuse.
