      Absolutely and altitude sickness is no joke.

      Source: I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and previously in Park City, Utah. The amount of tourists from lower altitudes that come to these places anf end up sick in bed sucking on oxygen or in the ER is too damn high.

      Hey, we all make mistakes. Like that one Imperial general who came out of hyperspace too close to Hoth, alerting the rebels of their presence.
