The kids who drowned at the falls in Yosemite did not intend to be in the river or go over the falls or die.
But they did.
It's tragic.
But it's also stupid.
Going into the wilderness ill prepared to survive is stupid as well. If you intend to live. Also dumb waiting too long to try and leave.
It's heartbreaking in a way, the note on the bus saying that he is gone to pick berries, please don't leave, and he is literally skin and bones in a sleeping bag. But there is so much more worthy heartbreak in this world, that we truly cannot begin to comprehend it.
Children dying, spouses dying, governments murdering people for merely being honest, etc, etc.
