I don't think so as their buddy died. One of the first things I learned was 
during a silt out you OK the line, make buddy contact and leave the cave as a 
team. Where was the buddy contact? If they had done as they were supposed to 
their buddy would still be alive!  I am sorry about the loss of life and feel 
for his family but this was needless and in my opinion could have been 
avoided.
