Not sure about the greed, I think it is a cultural thing. I think that the culture is a more macho 'I'll do what I damn well like' attitude and is very much a 'stuff the authority' with a dangerous lack of bother about self protection.

A literally textbook cut and shut???
There are a number of mad kayaking video's from locals in the collective regions this video hoves from, and the attitude is 'if you go for it and die, tough titty', and they will leave the victim to drown if nobody can be arsed to rescue them - and they all accept that as part of the risk of kayaking, whilst going for rivers I (or most of my kayaking chums) would not even consider thinking about.
So, to judge it from our comfy, risk and insurance aware point of view is missing the point. Just watch the Russian crash videos!
