Watch out for "Mountain Accident" during the fall foliage season. Hiking alone, walking away from the hiking trail, Samgaya [Anchor Report]

Due to the early autumn heat wave, the timing of autumn leaves has also been delayed.

I'm sure there are a lot of people planning where to go hiking.

Be careful about mountain accidents that are concentrated in autumn.

Of the 8,000 people rescued by firefighters in mountain accidents last year,

The number of people rescued in September and October alone exceeded 2,000.

It's focused on the fall foliage season.

The most common cause of rescue in mountain accidents was loss and fall, followed by distress search, personal diseases, exhaustion and dehydration, and there were not a few wild plant consumption accidents.

To prevent mountain accidents in autumn, basic rules need to be followed.

First of all, it is necessary to refrain from "hiking alone" to climb the mountain alone, and you should warm up lightly before hiking and not deviate from the designated hiking trail.

Take light outerwear in preparation for temperature differences, especially drinking and hiking.

If an accident occurs during hiking, you should check the national branch number or mountain location sign installed on the hiking trail and report it to 119,
If there is a simple rescue first aid kit around the
hiking trail, emergency medicine can be used to provide first aid until the rescue team comes.

The news of late autumn leaves is coming one by one, and I hope you have a safe hiking trip without accidents this fall.
