The police successfully rescued three mountaineers who were carried on their backs at a height of nearly 6,000 meters. Why do "accidents" happen so often during peak climbing?
There are several reasons. They are just amateurs, do not have professional mountaineering qualifications and abilities, and are not fully prepared. The case mentioned in the title is because of the above reasons.
On the evening of October 4, a local public security bureau in Shigatse City, Tibet received a call for help. Three hikers were trapped because they were unfamiliar with the local environment, highly hypoxic, and physically exhausted. Half of Shapangma Peak in Geelong County.
At 11:00 on October 5, after continuous searching, the Tibetan police overcame various difficulties such as the harsh geographical environment, poor night vision, hypoxia at high altitudes, and even drove and hiked for 9 consecutive days. Hours later, the three trapped people were finally found at an altitude of nearly 6,000 meters.
After they were found, the three tourists were exhausted and unable to move. The police who went to the rescue took turns carrying the three tourists down the mountain on their shoulders. Fortunately, the three tourists died. Physical signs are good.
In fact, there have been many mountain climbing accidents in recent years. Case 1: On June 6, 2011, a group of "travel friends" were climbing Yaoxi Mountain in Longwan District when they encountered heavy rain and a man died. Shen fell and was trapped halfway up the mountain. Case 2: In 2012, when 10 travel friends went to a reservoir for outdoor exploration in Wencheng County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, they encountered heavy rain. Six people were washed away by flash floods, and two of them died unfortunately.
We must learn lessons from this and make full preparations before climbing: ① Fully understand the recent climate conditions and characteristics of mountainous areas, and pay attention to the weather forecast. ②It is best to wear cloth shoes, rubber-soled shoes or travel shoes for hiking shoes, and the clothes should be looser. We should also pay attention to the following points when mountaineering: collective action; stagger the peaks when going up and down the mountain; master the rhythm and pay attention to rest; when it rains, seek shelter in a cave in time; do not run when going down the mountain to prevent injury.
