Because of safety factors, should storm chasers be outlawed?

• Storm chasers usually save many more lives than any risk there might be. If a storm chaser helps to save 1000 lives then why shouldn't that person receive the recognition?
  You recognize police when they enter into a dangerous situation, recognized soldiers and so on.. Storm chasers perform a very valuable service and save countless lives at great risk to their own lives.
  Where is the downside unless it's the fools who do it purely for the thrill..

• Stalkers are also "researchers in a sense".
  True academic stormchasers obvious have a place. The Coast Guard flys planes through huricanes.
  But amateur storm chasers who take tourists on an adventure trip are about as legitimate as rabid dog chasers.

• I was actually thinking of the "true academic storm chasers".
  If someone doesn't know what they're doing there's a good chance
  they probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place. At least
  not without proper supervision.
