Weather forecast of Jingtai in Baiyin

A 100 km cross-country marathon, because of extreme weather, 2 1 person was killed. Why is it so serious?

It's been almost half a month. On the morning of May 22nd, the Yellow River Shilin Mountain Marathon 100 km cross-country race was officially started in the Yellow River Shilin Scenic Area, Jingtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province. At the mobilization meeting before departure, there was already wind, and the comparison of the wind at that time can be seen through the photos.

However, I didn't expect that strong winds would lead to extreme weather in the afternoon. After mobilizing the athletes, the Yellow River Shilin Mountain Marathon 100 km cross-country race officially started, and the athletes started running with their own equipment.

At about 1 in the afternoon, the high-altitude stage of the stage was affected by sudden weather, and some disastrous weather such as hail, freezing rain and strong wind appeared, and the temperature plummeted. However, in order to be light and simple, marathon runners usually do not choose to bring long sleeves and other clothes. Some people didn't bring anything, and some people brought warm blankets issued by the organizers, but the temperature plummeted, coupled with freezing rain, hail and strong winds. Many people lost their body temperature and got lost, but the rescuers of the organizers of the competition didn't arrive until 1 hour later. At this time, many players have lost contact, which brings great difficulty to the search and rescue work. 、

Why is it so serious? I think the most important thing is the negligence of our competitors. First of all, there is no emergency plan to deal with weather changes. Then, 100 km cross-country race did not specify a rescue station. However, if there is a rescue station in the stage, the athletes will not be rescued after 1 hour. This hour has killed many athletes in the temperature loss.

Then, the correct use of the thermal blanket issued by the contestants has not been properly popularized and trained, which makes many contestants use it improperly and cannot play its due role at all. The wrong use method did not bring the heat preservation effect to the player.

Generally speaking, the negligence of the contestants is very great. The contestants did not learn the emergency rescue knowledge they should know before the competition. Many factors led to this unexpected event, resulting in the death of 2 1 player.
