I don't know Aaron personally and think he did an incredible job at surviving and rescuing himself from an accident, however the picture painted of him throughout the entire book was of someone with reckless tendencies waiting for an accident to happen. The accident when he got his arm stuck was just dumb luck compounded by people not knowing where he was. It doesn't seem like the accident was caused by him being reckless, but it seemed inevitable something would happen to him over his lifetime based on his pattern of decision making.
Totally agree. And those who criticize us for viewing him as "reckless" should realize that we are getting that from the book he wrote about hmself, not from something someone else wrote about what he did.
