202 1 The news that 21person was killed in the mountain marathon cross-country race held in Jingtai County, Baiyin, Gansu Province on May 22nd has aroused widespread concern in the whole country. It is incredible that runners can freeze to death in this marathon.

On May 22nd, an accident occurred in the marathon100km cross-country race held in Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province. Affected by sudden extreme weather, severe weather such as hail, freezing rain and strong wind occurred at the high altitude from 20km to 3 1km, and the temperature plummeted. The contestants immediately became unwell and their body temperature dropped, and some of them lost contact.

According to news reports, extreme weather occurred in the middle of the CP2-CP3 track, and unexpected situations such as freezing rain and strong wind caused many contestants to feel uncomfortable. At that time, many players even wore short-sleeved shorts because the organizers did not force them to carry coats. Therefore, after encountering such bad weather, many players showed symptoms of temperature loss, which eventually led to the unfortunate death of 2 1 person.

Interpretation of hypothermia Many people may not know the word hypothermia, and this word may be familiar to many people who like outdoor sports. In fact, hypothermia refers to a symptom that the loss of heat in the human body is far greater than the supply of heat, which leads to the decrease of body temperature. This description seems harmless, but in fact, once the temperature drops to a certain extent, the temperature in the core areas such as the human brain will drop, causing serious harm. When the body temperature is below 35 degrees, people will be in a coma; Once the body temperature drops below 30 degrees, it will be life-threatening at any time.

Therefore, these contestants did not have enough warm-keeping facilities and equipment after encountering sudden extreme cold weather, which led to the gradual aggravation of the symptoms of temperature loss. Moreover, there is no supply station on the track, which makes their lives seriously threatened and causes such serious consequences, which is regrettable.
