Did Climber Have to Cut Off Arm to Save Life?
On Sunday the 27th April 2003, 27-year-old Aron Ralston, an experienced mountaineer, set off on a 13-mile hike through the Bluejohn Canyon in Utah. He expected the hike would take him a-bout 12 hours. On his way, while climbing through a narrow section of the canyon, a 360-kg boulder(岩石)fell and trapped his arm. He was unable to move.
Ralston lay trapped in the canyon for five days. His water ran out after four days. A search party that went looking for him found no sign of him. On Thursday, he use a pocket knife to amputate(截肢)his arm below the elbow. He then walked out of the canyon and was taken to hospital.
Search and rescue veteran Rex Tanner was asked what Ralston did right and wrong.
How do you think Ralston managed to survive?
Rex: I think the most important thing is that he kept his head. In a dangerous situation, you need a stable frame of mind.
What could Ralston have done to avoid the situation?
Rex: Ralston had broken the most important rule of climbing. He had not told anyone where he was going. There are a lot of things he should have done that he didn’t do. For example, he could have asked someone to do the hike with him. He could have taken a cell phone with him. He shouldn’t have set out without doing at least one of these things. It’s really not that difficult to do, and it doesn’t take away from the wilderness experience.
What basic tips would you suggest to help people survive in the wild?
Rex: Having enough water is number one. Being able to start a fire is number two. The proper clothing is important. Also, you have to realize when things are getting difficult. Before you climb down into a canyon, it’s important that you figure out how you’re going to get out.
