TheDevil - // If you go out in the wind and a sign gets blow into your face then you deserve it for going out in such conditions?
What if you go out in the wind, it blows you and you roll your ankle? Deserve it do ya? //
For your comparison to work - if you went out when specifically warned not to in advance, for no god reason other than your own pleasure, and in doing so you potentially endangered other people who take on the job of saving you, then you would not actually 'deserve' any harm to come to you, but legitimate questions could be raised about your common sense in terms of your own, and others' preservation.

The Devil,
There is currently a patient who is confirmed positive tested for Coronavirus. He came from China in a repatriation Govt Charter aircraft and was taken to the Wirral for 14 days isolation and quarantine.
He signed an agreement on condition of boarding the flight that he would remain in quarantine in the UK for 14 days.
He is now trying to abscond from that quarantine unit knowing he is a confirmed carrier of a virus that is easily transmitted to others.
How do you compare the attitudes of both of these people i.e. the surfer and the patient in quarantine?

Anyone who knowingly puts themselves at risk ie surfing in stormy seas, mountain climbing in a blizzard, should be made to pay for the rescue services which cost a lot of money to run and put other people's lives at risk. If they know this beforehand then they cannot quibble if charged for being rescued. Very different scenario from someone going about their normal business and getting injured or in need of rescue.

While we wait for TheDevil to clock in - if I may -
I am not sure your comparison holds up -
One is out enjoying himself and got into difficulties which he could reasonably have avoided had he apprised himself of the risks, and endangered a finite number of people who undertake to rescue individuals, regardless of the stupidity involved in getting themselves into difficulty in the first place.
The other finds himself potentially infected with a virus against which he had no protection, and no reasonable means of knowing he was in danger in advance, and his actions could potentially cause the deaths of a large number of unknown innocent people.
There is an element of foolish self-centredness at play here, but beyond that, I believe the scenarios are galaxies apart.
