Gansu marathon survivors cry about the process of self-help. Why is running a marathon so dangerous?

Gansu marathon survivors cry about the process of self-help. Running a marathon is so dangerous mainly because it is a mountain marathon. The terrain and climate of this marathon are very complicated, with high altitude, low temperature and bad weather during the race.

Recently, the survivors of a mountain marathon in Baiyin, Gansu shed tears when they recalled the process of self-rescue. He said that he climbed halfway up the mountain and sat in the open space for several hours. He tried to sleep many times, but he didn't fall asleep, almost hanging by a thread. Perhaps in the impression of many people, marathon is a relatively safe sport. In fact, the marathon itself is really not that dangerous. Generally, we just need to be prepared, and only in rare cases will sudden death occur.

This marathon is special because the altitude is relatively high, with a minimum altitude of 2000 meters. For some ordinary players, such a high altitude makes it difficult for them to adapt. In addition, the terrain of the track is also very complicated, with mountains and even no man's land, so there is a greater possibility of accidents. The most terrible thing is the sudden bad weather and the sudden drop in temperature in this game. With the heavy wind and rain, many contestants' body temperature dropped rapidly and their blood circulation slowed down. When the core temperature was low to a certain extent, many contestants fell into coma, which eventually led to the death of some contestants.

The tragedy of this marathon is not only related to the environment, but also related to the organizers. They set up too few rescue workers in various sections, and the organizational arrangements were not in place. For the contestants, this is a mountain marathon, and the requirements for physical quality and professionalism should be higher, but many contestants are not so professional and have no very good physical quality.

From the above aspects, marathon has become dangerous, especially this kind of mountain marathon, which is full of uncertainties in terrain, temperature and climate.
