R.I.P. boys, you proved your point.

Due to the high temperatures, emergency medical flight helicopters were unable to respond, as they generally cannot fly safely over 120 degrees, according to Death Valley.

Once a heat index of 99 degrees is exceeded, ambient air no longer helps provide relief, Death Valley officials added. And because the group was traveling by motorcycle, they were not able to cool down while riding due to high ambient air temperatures and because of the necessary heavy safety gear worn to reduce injuries in the event of an accident.
