On a serious note, "testing" survival skills should be done in a controlled envirement that allows you to reach the brink of "failing" while still having the resources to save yourself. At the very minimum, you should have a away to call for emergency help for when you realize you aren't doing so well. On the other hand, often times, it's too late by the time you realize that.
My prayers to his family, but that was really bad judgement. At least he had the smarts enough to let someone know he was gone and when to expect him back.
I would say that this is accurate. I have always thought to test skills individually, not actually depending on them. It allows one to screw up and figure out the ins and outs of the technique without jeopardizing their life.
