I think you would have to give a couple of examples of this.

I, for one, would not ever vote for an increase in dues to cover people who are not financially responsible enough to determine if death due to their past time will impact their families. If you feel that you dont want to pay the additional insurance to cover your cave diving and keep your family secure, then perhaps you are too cheap to be cave diving, or perhaps cave diving is more important than your family. Either way, if you want to set up an independent fund for irresponsible (or unlucky?) cave divers, by all means, but dont force it on those that do take care of things.
