Helicopter rescues on Mountain Everest is increasing rapidly. People are trying to climb Everest because not only is Everest the biggest mountain in the world, only a few people has completed the climb. Now they are not only putting their selves in danger, but they are also putting the people that are trying to rescue them in danger and the people really do not need help. There are many, many more mountains in the world besides Everest. You may not put yourself in danger if you climb a less risky mountain. First off, there has been more rescue calls for people this year than ever before. If you are not really in danger there is no use in calling because someone could really need the help. People that are really in danger might need the help that you are getting for no reason. There have been so many calls there are not enough helicopters to save everybody. A lot of people might not realize, but it cost a lot of money for all the helicopters. Source 1 states, that the B3 machines cost two million dollars apiece. A 13- year- old boy attempted to climb Mountain Everest, but he failed the climb. It is very dangerous for adults to climb it, but it’s even more dangerous for children to climb it. Think about if you’re not really in trouble do not call because …show more content…
Why Everest? There are many, many other mountains in the world. Some other mountains could be less dangerous. Why would you want to climb a mountain with dead bodies on it? Source 2 states, there still dead bodies that remain on the mountain. Source 2 also states, there have been a least 230 deaths on mountain Everest. The problem is that a lot of people want to complete the climb and their not succeeding. Do you want your children climbing a mountain that has dead bodies everywhere? Children do not need to experience the climb. Parents should not allow their climb to attempted the climb if they know they might not see them
In all three article, “Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest”, “Why Everest?”, and “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” all have different points of view regarding the issue of emergency rescues of mountain climbers.
The entire journey up the mountain is full of danger. You constantly have to worry about the oxygen you are getting and people around you are dying. The air is thin and if there is any air, it’s contaminated. You have to worry about getting the disease H.A.P.E. You have to worry about your health 24/7. You have to get past impossible obstacles. You just have to be strong. Climbing the mountain is an endless, painful battle. No matter what is happening outside of the mountain, on Mount Everest all that matters is Survival.
Mt. Everest’s summit has always seemed an unattainable goal for most people. The idea that most people have is that if I can climb Mt Everest, I can accomplish anything. To have the money and desire to try to attempt it is one thing, but being able to endure the punishment is quite another. Beck Weathers, one of the climbers on this particular expedition, had such severe frostbite that he had to have his right arm, nose and the fingers on his left hand amputated. Everyone on the expedition suffered the rigors of Everest. The two expert guides, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, lost their lives due to a violent storm that ripped through during their descent from the summit. Their impaired judgment also contributed to their demise. Everest is no respecter of persons. Mt Everest is the most respected mountain in the whole world and if
The deaths of sixteen people from twenty-five on Mount Everest have reignited debate as to whether climbing the 8,848 meter-high mountain should be banned.(Source 2) (Hook) Day by day many people try to climb Mt. Everest and consistently people are not successful at doing that. I believe mountaineering should be banned due to plenty of people are dying. According to Source 2 “, The falling ice hit twenty-five men, killing sixteen of them” meaning that even standing near Everest can kill people because of the falling ice. Mountaineering to others is the spirit of adventure, quest and the sense of achievement because they feel climbing Everest is prestigious although they don’t think about all the dangers that can affect their dreadful journey.
In 1996, any person could challenge themselves to climb Mt. Everest, and that was not a very smart decision. “...ushering a gaggle of relatively inexperienced amateurs […] into an apparent death trap?”(1.8) This speaks about how the government rules were so lenient that people would walk in just to find themselves dead. People without the proper training and vitals such as immune system were able to risks their lives for an achievement. There should be some type of background check to see who is a caple to climb the mountain because people will die, such as they did die. Nepal was careless to let people who aren't up or ready for the risks up the
They should keep Everest open because people have the right to risk their own lives climbing the mountain. Although some people think they should leave it open other people don’t. People think that it's too dangerous to climb and that they may not be able to breath at a certain height, That may be true but it has been improved and proven safer.It has also been proven that for every 4 successful summit
And they got one climber off, and they crashed attempting to rescue the second man” (Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest 7). It is a rescuer’s job to know the risks for saving a climber but if the climber is a professional, they shouldn’t be easily be making mistakes. When there are rescuers who come pick you up fast when you can’t complete the climb, it is like having a safety net behind you. But where is the safety net behind the rescuers? There isn’t one, once they make a mistake, there won’t be someone to save them, so there shouldn’t be rescuers saving climbers when they are risking their own lives but also the
Imagine someone swinging by a rope as they’re mountain climbing. Will anyone help? More and more people are climbing Mt. Everest so, the risk involved and increasing death tolls are very dangerous. And the helicopters are very expensive, almost $2 million. It’s dangerous for the helicopters to go up to the height of Everest or even just really high because if there is more than one person, it would have to go back and forth because it can one person. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because we cannot afford it.
Imagine yourself climbing Everest, the cold air in your lungs and your adrenaline rushing, because of the risk they’re taking. That feeling is what mountaineers crave. On April 18, 2014, an avalanche caused one of the greatest loss of life in the history of the fabled peek. Now the tragedy has sparked a debate on whether climbing Mt. Everest should continue to be permitted. In my opinion, regardless of the risk, I think people should still be able to climb Mt. Everest.
People do not have the right .wrong because what if the ranger does want and is just doing it to make living.Therefore rangers and rescue services should not have to save someone unless there dying.Mountain climbing has its pros and cons.The pinnacle of rock climbing is climbing Mt.Everest.Every rock climbers dream is to reach the peak of Mt.Everest.Mt.Everest is a 100% the most difficult and fatal mountain to climb.Even a harder challenge for risk takers is the seven summits.The first reason people do not have the right rescue services when they put themselves at risk.People do have the right to put others at risk for there foolish.
“Don't be afraid to have a reality check. Taking risks is OK, but you must be realistic.” Joy Mangano. This proves that although risk-taking can be accepted, you must be experienced in the risk that you’re taking in order to be safe. My first source, Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest is transcribed from Robert Siegel’s radio show, and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform readers. Another source I analyzed is “Why Everest?” The article was authored by Guy Moreau and is a nonfiction article that is meant to inform readers. The third source I researched is Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier and is a nonfiction newspaper article meant to inform readers. The author of the article is The Seattle Times. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk because it puts more people at risk, it is cost-heavy, and because they choose to risk their lives.
Did you know that over two-hundred thirty deaths have happened on Mount Everest and that rescue services have only successfully removed thirty bodies? Those people died because they were unprepared by not having enough oxygen or they didn’t plan accordingly. Being unprepared, not being physically fit, and putting other people at risk are three reasons why I think that Rescue Services should not be allowed for people who put themselves at risk.
Not only climbing Mount Everest can affect the climber, environment, but it can affect the local population of Nepal. According to the textbook Geography Alive! Regions and People it says on page 422 “ Porters are sometimes overworked and they are mistreated.” It is clearly testified that not everyone is nice to the porters, when they are only trying to help the climber climb safe to the summit. Another evidence, on page 216 from the book Peak, where it says “I had seen a dead person, let alone a frozen dead person.” Peak has testified that he saw a corpse just laying down face down on the cold snow on camp 4. This was new to him because he was not expecting this new thing for him. Concluding with this, climbing Mount Everest is not the best
It is hard to make the choice, but it is dangerous to hesitate on Mt. Everest or other high mountains, and sometimes the choice to try saving a person causes the deaths of others. In my opinion, it is not worth to climb the mountain or even try to save others, because if you die, there will be nothing, but there should be something that attracts the climbers even though they know they may lose their lives. In this wide world, there are a lot of things that you can enjoy without the high risks of death, so I’d rather enjoy my life in a comfortable
Have you ever seen a drone or now what they are? Drone are a human craft without a piolet but UAV are ground base controlled. I will be arguing why the government should or should not use drones in everyday life because of military, changes the way we do things, to spy on people, and in agricultural.
