The specific cause of the death of "Flying Fish" has not been announced, but from the available information, there are two aspects that make this hiking activity high-risk.
First, a new line with high difficulty coefficient. 20 18 Henian Taong Line is newly opened, located in the upper reaches of Nujiang River and Lancang River, belonging to Hengduan Mountain range, with dangerous terrain. The average altitude here is 4000 meters to 5000 meters, the whole journey is about 120 kilometers, and it takes about 8 days to walk. You have to pass six passes at an altitude of about 5000 meters, three of which are rarely visited.
Walking on such a route with high difficulty coefficient will have fatal consequences if you get lost or alone. Moreover, there is no communication here, so it is difficult to get in touch when you need rescue. It is also difficult for rescuers to find people in distress in the mountain jungle.
Second, make an appointment with yourself. This hiking activity, "Flying Fish" was on the outdoor platform of 8264, and it was agreed to go with donkey friends from all over the country. New routes, new partners, because they are unfamiliar with each other, it is difficult to reach an agreement when there are differences. Then, everyone went their separate ways, and the independent action of the new line greatly increased the probability of distress.
The report said that after flying fish and others entered the mountain, they had different opinions on the second day route, and some people left. Then, the flying fish and two other donkey friends formed a team to move on. Later, the trio also had differences on the line. The last "flying fish" left behind has never appeared.
When the "flying fish" didn't arrive at the assembly point on time, the other two companions didn't wait or look back and continued their journey. It was not until later hikers arrived one after another that they said they didn't see "flying fish" that they called the police.
Therefore, this kind of self-agreement, forming a loose and divided team, should be avoided when hiking outdoors, especially when taking a difficult new route.
When we go outdoors, we are not desperate, and most of them are not even adventurous. It should be an upgraded version of the tour. Instead of signing up at a travel agency, take a bus to see some scenic spots. Instead, follow the outdoor club, consume a certain amount of physical strength, and see more natural and beautiful scenery.
However, when walking outdoors, some people's routes become more and more difficult, even entering no man's land. As a result, some people expanded and got the echo of others. How can he be awesome? He is a "strong donkey", and any strong lines and swearing lines he has passed have stopped the outdoor Baishan.
The little whites clung to the trekking poles, regardless of their physical strength and safety, and desperately followed the footsteps of the "strong donkey" to catch up.
I once had an exchange with the famous climber Sun Bin. I said that some "great gods" in the field of hiking and mountaineering should not brag too much about how awesome they are, which will make some people follow behind and be in danger without physical strength and other conditions. He agrees with me. His outdoor sports school has been devoted to training outdoor leaders and outdoor enthusiasts.
When you are away from home, you must feel safe. I think you need to pay attention to the following points:
First, take a mature route. China has a vast territory and many hiking routes. Moreover, outdoor sports have developed rapidly in China, and some outdoor clubs and companies have developed many routes with beautiful natural scenery. As for those new lines that have not been fully developed or just developed, don't rush in to avoid outdoor risks.
Second, follow a qualified outdoor club. With more and more outdoor enthusiasts, the commercialization of outdoor activities is becoming stronger and stronger. It is relatively safe to sign up in a qualified outdoor club and follow them into the outdoor.
Outdoor clubs have experienced team leaders and tour guides, as well as mature routes that have been developed. These tour leaders and tour guides have experienced many times and know the route very well. During hiking, they will remind and protect hikers. Moreover, under the unified leadership of the team leader and the guide, there will be no fragmentation.
Third, make full preparations before departure. After all, hiking is very different from ordinary travel. The route is not a scenic spot or a tourist area, and there are no roads or roads in many places. Either the altitude is high, or there are rivers, or there are rocks and weeds everywhere. Hiking on such a route requires a certain amount of physical strength and endurance, so you must be fully prepared before you leave.
Exercise regularly at ordinary times and be physically prepared. Good physical strength is the most important guarantee of safety.
Buy good quality outdoor equipment and get ready. Sometimes good equipment will help you overcome danger and save you from an irreparable quagmire.
Know the route you are taking and be mentally prepared. Make an assessment of the difficulty of the route and measure whether your physical strength can be completed. Where are the difficulties on the line, and can you overcome them? In the process of marching, according to your physical condition, advance and retreat at any time to minimize the risk.
Summarize it when you come back and prepare for the next time. After walking back, recall the outdoor activities and think about the gains and losses of this activity in your mind. It's best to form a text, which is not only a record of this activity, but also a better and safer outdoor activity through record analysis.
In short, outdoor activities build a protective barrier through safety awareness, so that outdoor lovers can go further outdoors and enjoy more beautiful scenery.
