So I would say that the risk of an implostion and depths below the ocean is a similar risk, but they would still do it.

And therein lies the fallacy. Sinking in an uncertified vessel, made of incompatible materials for that purpose, likely to implode at the seams, ignoring expert advice is not adventurous. It has proved fatally stupid.
