Essential Knowledge | In a nutshell

Is it fatal if you get hurt while climbing a high mountain?

There is a rumor that people die once they get hurt because they bleed and do not stop bleeding while climbing Mt. Everest.

It could be right. As the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases, and when the air pressure decreases, the pressure to push it out of the body increases relatively, and the bleeding may not stop.

As another example, a person whose suture has not healed completely after surgery sometimes bleeds in the surgical area during an airplane trip.

Additionally, the temperature is extremely low in the high mountains, complicating emergency measures. Therefore, when climbing a high mountain, be sure to wear appropriate safety equipment and exercise caution at all times.
