David48 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 ... Look at the fools who climb Mt.Everest and 25 percent DIE. ... Welcome aboard new poster ... I'm certainly in-tune with stopping pollution (as in your Avatar). But I do have to question one small thing ... about 25% of people dying climbing Mt Everest. Can you post your source material please because my knowledge is a little different to yours? The overall mortality rate for Everest mountaineers during the entire 86-year period was 1.3 percent; the rate among climbers was 1.6 percent and the rate among sherpas was 1.1 percent. During the past 25 years, a period during which a greater percentage of moutaineers climbed above 8,000 meters, the death rate for non-Himalayan climbers descending via the longer Tibetan northeast ridge was 3.4 percent, while on the shorter Nepal route it was 2.5 percent.

pastitche Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If I was an Ant in a previous life it would be complimentary but as one in the next life, BUDDHISM would see it as a severe downgrade. I would rather come back as a cockroach or a Saltwater Crocodile. Thanks for sharing. I want to come back as an oak tree... ideally next to a village green with a cricket team Beware of what you wish for - it could turn out be an oak tree in Australia.

Fortuitously, the rich amongst us could alternatively retire to their feather-bedded chateaux, whereas that option was not available to the very poorest. And my point was that regardless of my preferred career or natural habitat, you'll not find me in Thailand under a bridge demanding money with menaces as it is prohibited by law and I don't have a Work Permit SC EDIT: sometimes, it seems hardly worth going back over furrows you've ploughed once already, regardless of how shallow or ... and once again, my vocabulary fails me - what is a good word for 'not straight' in the way that a poorly ploughed furrow might be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossfinn Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Look at the fools who climb Mt.Everest and 25 percent DIE. "Climbing Everest is a dangerous activity and, on average over many years, there was one death for every 10 successful attempts. And as dangerous as it is to climb Everest, coming back down is even more hazardous, as reported in a study in The British Medical Journal (BMJ ), Vol 337, December 2008, by PG Firth and colleagues." "The BMJ study examined the pattern of mortality among climbers on Everest in the period 1921-2006. In total the mountaineers included 8,030 climbers and 6,108 Sherpas. There were 212 climbing deaths (a death rate of 1.3 per cent), 192 of which occurred above the base camp. Among climbers who died higher than 8,000 metres above sea level, 56 per cent succumbed on their descent from the summit and 17 per cent died after turning back. Only 15 per cent died on the way up or before leaving the final camp." Irish Times 2009 Not denying your passion, but quoting facts needs supporting evidence or the argument is a house of falling cards. Come back with new supportive evidence, and I will support you, not sure what I will support, but it is the only war I have at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnandaSatvha Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 The BBC did an analysis in which for some reason I cant cut and paste here which stated. Older climbers have a 25 percent chance of dying and young climbers had only a 2.2 percent chance of death. I'd bet more than 80 percent of the members here are over 40...

That's put me right off, so it has. I think I'll just stay home and watch the rugby this weekend. You'll not catch me climbing Everest at those odds; I'd be better off with illegal football betting. Anyway, fatalities on Everest are completely OFF TOPIC because, as the Dalai Lama knows, I am sure, though some on this forum seem to struggle, and, if we are to believe what we are told here, many Thais would contradict me, but EVEREST IS NOT IN THAILAND. Climbing Everest does not constitute overcomng adversity in Thailand. You can boast all you want, and rub our noses in it that people with zimmers have more chance of winning the lottery than climbing Everest and returning safely, but NOT ON THIS THREAD!
