I agree that if all possible risks were divulged and the attendees agreed to it, anything that happened to them is their responsibility. Indeed, it is their responsibility for not leaving the sweat room when they surely felt ill at ease.
However, James Ray could have had medical personnel on hand. Even assuming he divulged all the risks beforehand, it would have been a smart precaution. At 9k a ticket, he certainly could have afforded it.
Responsibility where responsibility is due, to both the dead and the man who led them to their graves. Neither party is innocent. It is not judgment, merely fact.
