    How the hell do you manage to do that in there? Especially a member of another party.

    Had a very close call in there myself , the guy with the rifle managed to control himself, and that's why I'm posting this.
    Second time I've been looking down a barrel, actually it was three barrels.

    So very sad.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Devastating, I'm sure more will come to light over the coming days the story doesn't read very well with such limited information but I assume who ever shot him hit the PLB truly sad for all involved. My thoughts go out .

    @Kelton I suspect that one of the others in the party had the PLB and activated it...Or the victim may have had time to activate his (I do not know) but somehow I think if the PLB was hit that it would be damaged enough not to work...
    Intelligence has its limits, but it appears that Stupidity knows no bounds......

    I think he meant 'hit' the button on the PLB

    Just read the closed thread.
    If that’s indeed true there definitely needs to be a man slaughter charge laid.
    The rules of Te Urewera forbid hunting during darkness for this very reason.
    Condolences to the dudes family though.
    And a part of me feels bad for the shooter too.
    Hell of a thing to live with.
    I hope and pray I never make that mistake.
