Warranted Risk
The probability of saving human life warrants a maximum effort. When no suitable alternative exists and the mission has a reasonable chance of success, the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat is acceptable, even though such damage or abuse may render the boat unrecoverable.
The possibility of saving human life or the probability of preventing or relieving intense pain or suffering warrants the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat if recovering the boat can reasonably be expected.
The probability of saving property of the US or its citizen warrants the risk of damage to the boat if the value of the property to be saved is unquestionably greater than the cost of the damage and the boat is fully expected to be recovered.
