Rangers Research Paper

People pay for the experience everyone has. It’s not free. If you're paying a huge amount of money to reach your destination. Everyone should have the right to be respected, be saved, treated greatly. All that money everyone pays is paying them. Paying should let yourself know that you’re in excellent care. In the article Helicopter rescues Increasing on Everest is started “ the helicopter companies are privately owned and operated so it’s- you know, they have to lay out quite a bit of money. I mean. these machines, the B3’s, cost about $2 million apiece, and they’re quite expensive to operate, said Heil.”Heil means the money everyone pays to go to the rescue and the helicopters to save anyone. While other people believe the money isn't going to the rescue services it is going to other people helicopters and all other extra thing that are on the mountain. The rescue services are still getting paid to risk their life for someone else’s. Anyway, they choose and they know how much they receive and what they have to operate. Rescue services should save climbers who are risking their

In order to continue climbing Everest, many aspects of climbing need to be improved before more people endanger their lives to try and reach the roof of the world. The guides have some areas that need the most reform. During the ascension of Everest the guides made a plethora mistakes that seemed insignificant but only aided in disaster. The guides first mistake is allowing “any bloody idiot [with enough determination] up” Everest (Krakauer 153). By allowing “any bloody idiot” with no climbing experience to try and climb the most challenging mountain in the world, the guides are almost inviting trouble. Having inexperienced climbers decreases the trust a climbing team has in one another, causing an individual approach to climbing the mountain and more reliance on the guides. While this approach appears fine, this fault is seen in addition to another in Scott Fischer’s expedition Mountain Madness. Due to the carefree manner in which the expedition was run, “clients [moved] up and down the mountain independently during the acclimation period, [Fischer] had to make a number of hurried, unplanned excursions between Base Camp and the upper camps when several clients experienced problems and needed to be escorted down,” (154). Two problems present in the Mountain Madness expedition were seen before the summit push: the allowance of inexperienced climbers and an unplanned climbing regime. A third problem that aided disaster was the difference in opinion in regards to the responsibilities of a guide on Everest. One guide “went down alone many hours ahead of the clients” and went “without supplemental oxygen” (318). These three major issues: allowing anyone up the mountain, not having a plan to climb Everest and differences in opinion. All contributed to the disaster on Everest in

For the first reason that people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is people may die. In source #3 “Ranger Killed During Rescue of Climbers on Mount Rainier” indicate that rescuer died when he try to save the climbers. As narrated above in the newspaper article, “As Hall… was preparing some of climber for helicopter evacuation… he fell down the mountain’s northeast side from the 13700- foot level… Climbers reached him hours later and confirmed he had died.” This represents it’s very dangerous to tried save people at 13700- foot level high, and the climbers are dangling inside crevasse. Moreover, it proof that rescuers must have to be skilled, otherwise he will lose his life easily. For those who disagree are

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain.

“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.

The first reason people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is because of the chances of more people dying. The article “Why Everest?” suggests that if you’re going to climb any mountain, make sure you have very good experience. As stated Guy Moreau, “There have been over 250 deaths on the mountain.” This shows that people are climbing high without experience. In addition, it demonstrates that more rescuers are being put in danger. Those who disagree think helping people is good; this argument is wrong because climbers need more experience. Therefore, lack of experience is the first reason people do not have the right to rescue services.

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.

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 reason people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk is that they are making life threatening risk to themselves. Source #2 titled “ Why Everest? ” Suggests that it is your choice if you want to make the treacherous climb. As stated on lines 9-11, “ Not everyone manages to complete the climb and some of these people pay their lives.” This shows that if you want to make a risk, you have to know that many people have died by taking the risk. There have been over 230 deaths on Mount Everest. In addition, it demonstrates that many have accomplished the climb, but many have not. Those who disagree think that if you climb Everest, you will survive; this argument is wrong because you should

Have you ever wanted to prove to everyone that you are a hard worker that is willing to give up everything to go on an adventure? If this is you than Everest is the perfect place for you. In the story, “ Into Thin Air,” by Jon Krakauer a true story is told of a dangerous voyage up and down Everest. The climb up was arduous and long according to Jon, but the climbers sacrificed everything to get to the top, which most of the climbers achieved. However, emotions shifted when a storm swooped in and killed many of the climbers that were stuck on the summit, around 12-19 in total.

Instead of risking their lives for their own glory, they do it to help others reach the summit and for the benefits that follow. Besides a natural love for climbing mountains, finances push them to attempt these expeditions over and over. There are reasons guides like Andy Hall feel high pressure to succeed and as Krakauer explains,, “he was savvy enough to understand that the more attention he got from the news media, the easier it would be to coax corporations to open their checkbooks” (32). Hall uses his media attention to fund trips to Mt. Everest and would do whatever it took to help an important climber reach the top and which is essentially where he finds his sense of accomplishment and media attention. Guides like Scott Fischer have to make a name for themselves first, and initially might do so unsafely. Don Peterson speaks of Fischer with awe, proclaiming, “It didn’t matter how much pain he was in- he would ignore it and keep going,” referring to Scott Fischers six months of traveling with “an open suppurating wound” (63). It is possible that with such desperation to succeed and be well known as a climber, guides would risk their lives by ignoring injuries and health. Its evident that even the most skilled still face challenges but continue to pursue a dangerous lifestyle for

After understanding and analyzing the tragedy of Everest, that took eight lives, we can conclude that the incident may occur due to several causes by nature or human error. The major factor that lead to this tragedy is the lack of team work and communication. Even though they were all in the same expedition, eager to reach the summit. While knowledge on humans behaving in extreme situations is limited, most of us believe we would not let someone die in the

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.

Summiting Mount Everest is 29,029 feet of nausea-inducing, bone-chilling, and stupefying adrenaline. Annually, thrill seekers from all over the world travel to Nepal to climb the world’s tallest mountain to obtain the feeling of pride, achievement, and fulfillment. However, are the consequences of risking your life worth those intangible sentiments? Officials and mountaineers argue whether to keep Everest open or closed for a three-year break because of the recent large number of deaths. Keeping Everest open causes cold-related diseases, or even death while attempting to climb it.

The Harvard Business School case Mount Everest – 1996 narrates the events of May 11, 1996, when 8 people-including the two expedition leaders— died during a climb to the tallest mountain in the world (five deaths are described in the case, three border police form India also died that day). This was dubbed the “deadliest day in the mountain’s history” (at least until April 18, 2014). The survivors and many analysts have tried to decipher what went wrong that day, find an underlying cause, and learn from the event.
