He never rationalized immoral behavior, unless you consider climbing Mt Everest immoral.
A lot of people risk their lives every day in their jobs. It's not typically seen as immoral to do this.
I agree markets have failures, and they also shouldn't justify immoral behavior--I really sincerely agree with you on that--but in those cases, that happens because of externalities. In this case the externality is the dead bodies and litter, so a market solution isn't typically bad in this context.
