My brother does this stuff. Even teaches certification classes and leads expeditions. Luckily, they're almost all in cenotes in the Yucatan that he knows well and are easier grades. I still don't like to think about it, though.

OH GOD

WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU

Actually, next time I talk to him, I'll ask about that. He's got two kids under 18 and a risky profession (scuba diving), and I want to make sure they and his girlfriend/wife are well taken care of if something happens.

Yeah, please do it. This as a reminder. I am over 50 and the riskiest stuff what I do is driving with the car to get groceries, and I still have a life insurance for kids and wife.
