Rescue Services If you worked as a rescuer, and someone desperately needs you to help them. The thing is, what if they person was widely aware that they were putting themselves in danger? Would you risk your life and health, just to save them? Many people have different opinions and points of view on this specific topic. In my opinion people who willingly put themselves in danger should not get special assistance from a rescue worker. The one reason why is that, what is the person or people who were coming to rescue you had someone else to tend to, and they were actually in danger. Also in my opinion, I would not save someone who had put their life in danger and knew it. Because should you be compassionate to other and rescue them if the …show more content…
Source #3 states that, some climbers who had fallen and slipped into a crevasse in the mountains. The two climbers were then pulled to safety at around 3:10pm. Source #3 concludes by saying this, “They had a few injuries from slipped and having around a hundred pounds yank on the harnesses, but none of the injuries received were life threatening.” Lately, since the many injured climbers tourists often point out the increase of helicopters flying in the sky. Details in source #3 clearly suggest services should not be provided for anyone who decides to put themselves at risk. If you clearly know that you are putting yourself in danger, why do …show more content…
Also you should not just be thinking about putting your own self at risk. You could easily be putting someone else at risk, such as the person who should come and rescue you. A climber from source #1 states that helicopters are becoming increasingly common throughout the Himalayas to. Also there are many advantages to actually decide to climb the mountain.
To conclude, Source #1 states that, the advantages of the Swiss rescue technique are that rescuers will soon be able to literally be able to pluck a climber from a mountain if needed. In source #1 a climber states, “You might see as many as four to five helicopter flights in a given day on average.” There are not that many rules to be safe, just make sure that you follow the rules you are given following. Many people, including myself, believe that people who put themselves in danger should not be entitled to
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 first source is Helicopter Rescues Increasing on Everest is transcribed from Robert Siegel’s radio show and is a nonfiction radio interview whose purpose is to inform the readers. “Why Everest?” Is a nonfiction, informational article written by Guy Moreau, and has a purpose to inform the readers. Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers is a nonfiction newspaper article written by The New York Times and has a purpose to inform the readers. People do not have the right to emergency services when they put themselves at risk because they’re putting other people's’ lives at risk, there is numerous
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.
In different circumstances, people have to risk other people's lives to save their
So why are people like this? The world may never know but it can be assessed that maybe people just don’t want to have the responsibility of someone’s life on their hands. Like why would you? If you attempt to save them and fail then you are forever haunted by the memory of the look in that persons eyes when the light leaves them. If you succeed you are hailed as a hero and the crushing amount of attention that the media places on your head will crush you and eventually lead to your untimely demise at the hands of suicide or your loved ones finding you hanging from your second story banister, so either way it ends
Now to conclude my point on why people shouldn't be rescued on Everest the three reasons could harm the climbers people could die it's very dangerous and it's very hard to rescue the people in trouble.To sum it up I believe that people shouldn't be rescued on Everest even though they know the risks and
Nick heil, a writer at outside magazine, was interviewed and gave his knowledge about the cost of rescuing climbers. He said that “The helicopter companies are privately owned and operated so it’s- you know, they have to lay out quite a bit of money.” (Helicopter rescues increasing on everest 13). Nick is saying that when people require assistance or help getting off everest, it is very costly just to fly the choppers, not even taking into consideration how much it costs to get the helicopter and the pilots in the first place. What if the helicopter runs into electrical
Do people have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk? Mountain climbing is an activity of climbing mountains. For helicopter services, each cost about $2 million apiece and the helicopter could only take one climber. The air is very thin on the higher level of the mountain, climbers may have faced bad weather. Members of climber are increasing in the climbing season, many of them are in the death zone that there are traffic jams. People do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves in a risky because people may die, and bad environment.
As stated above, I believe humans should help each other. I understand why people feel the need to potentially harm themselves in the act of saving others. Some do it for glory while others do it out of the kindness of their heart. Humans should go out and help each other, however, before any helping is done one must consider their own self preservation in a
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.
I think that anyone in this situation would do the same to save their loved ones or those close to them. Their instincts are a very helpful
“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.
Can you save other people’s lives when you are in danger or close to death? I would say “No” most of the time because my life is the most important thing in the universe at least for me. This is a quite difficult and controversial question, but I assume that the majority of people would say no as well. I don’t understand why the climbers take risks that they can die.
