I didn't check this particular website, but I've seen others that clearly state that pictures are shown with the permission of the photographed people. Who knows why they gave their permission, but they did.

I think the pictures are extremely valuable, because young people so often think that dangerous activities *might* kill them suddenly in a blaze of glory, but they don't properly consider how they might stay alive & just ruin themselves. Obviously, we place high value on appearance, and nobody in their right mind wants to look like that. Many people might not understand (or really care) what harm they'll do to their hearts, livers, kidneys, brains, etc. but these pictures make the harm undeniably scary & real.
