Ochwepheshe Banikeza Amanothi Ngendlela Yokusinda I-Anvalanche
Indlela yokusinda i-avalanche iyisihloko sokuphepha esishisayo ngoba iphakethe leqhwa likhuphuke kakhulu emavikini ayisihlanu edlule kulo lonke elaseColorado, e-Utah nase-Canadian Rockies. Naphezu kwezixwayiso ze-avalanche, abantu baye beya ezweni lasekuseni kulobu busika, kanti abaningana bafile, noma bangcwatshwa eqhweni kodwa babanjwa ngesikhathi.
Kodwa ungacabangi ukuthi kufanele ujabulele ezemidlalo ezikhuthele endaweni yezintaba ukuze uzulazula endaweni ye-avalanche?
Nansi indaba ngezimoto ezimbili eziqothulwe emgwaqeni omkhulu ngenkathi zidlula eBergudud Pass eColorado. I-USA Today i-athikili ichaza ukuthi wonke umuntu emotweni ngayinye wasinda kanjani futhi umuntu oyedwa kuphela wabhekana kabi. Omunye umshayeli, oneminyaka engu-17 ubudala, owaziwa nge-backcountry skier, uchaze indlela enza ngayo amaphakheji emoyeni njengoba imoto imise ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-100 ngaphansi komgwaqo ababekade ukhona esikhathini esidlule.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, inani leziqhumane zeqhwa, ama-skiers asezindaweni zasemuva kanye nabahamba ngezinyawo zasebusika abafa ezikhungweni ze-avalanchi sebeye bavuka. Izindawo zokuhlala ezivela eSteamboat ukuya eJackson Hole (izindawo zokuhlala ezihamba ngezinyawo ngaphakathi kwemingcele ye-ski area zilawulwa yi-avalanche) sezivele zibika kusuka emaqenjini angu-230 kuya ku-300.
Amasu Okufunda Ukuze Usize Usukele Ku-Anvalanche
Izikhathi eziningana ebusika, omunye ufunda ngama-skiers, ama-snowboarders noma ama-snowmobilers abanjwe ema-avalanche. Abanye basinda, ngokwengxenye ngoba bahlomele kahle ama-beacons, ama-probe nolwazi.
Abanye abakwenzi! Uma uhambela ezintabeni lapho kungenzeka khona amaslayidi, thatha isikhathi sokufunda ngokuphepha kwe-avalanche. Kungase kukusize usinde. Ngokwesikhungo sama-Avalanche we-US Forest Service National, iningi lama-avalanche izisulu ezithintekayo zibangelwa yibo ngokwabo noma abanye emphakathini wabo.
Vumela Abahloli Bakufundise Ukuphepha Kwe-Avalanche
Vumela ochwepheshe bafundise ukuphepha kwe-avalanche. Amawebhusayithi alandelayo imithombo enhle kakhulu ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngamandla ama-avalanche namathiphu okusinda, uma ubanjwe esilayidi. Eziningi zalezi zinhlangano zihlinzeka ngezikhathi zokwaziswa kokuphepha kwe-avalanche kanye namakilasi ezindaweni zabo.- Isikhungo se-Avalanche National Service Station se-US indawo enhle yokuqala. Amakhasi ewebhu ahlukahlukene ahlanganisa izinto eziyisisekelo, kuhlanganise uhlobo lwezwe, ikhekhe leqhwa, umoya nesimo sezulu esenza ama-avalanche. Kukhona futhi uhlu lwezixhumanisi kumawebhusayithi wesifunda.
- I-American Institute for Avalanche Rescue inezixhumanisi zolwazi mayelana nezifundo kulo lonke elase-US enikeza ulwazi namathuluzi okuzodinga ukulawula ingozi endaweni ye-avalanche.
- IWebhu ye-Utah Avalanche Center Web site inezimpendulo zemibuzo evamile kakhulu.
- I-Avalanche.org ihlonza izikhungo zama-avalanche ezindaweni ezintaba e-US nasezifundazweni zaseCanada.
- I- Canadian Avalanche Society inenkambiso ye-inthanethi ebizwa ngokuthi i-Avalanche First Response. Kuyindlela ehlakaniphile yokufunda okuningi mayelana nokuzivikela.
- Ama-Rockies aseColorado aphakathi kwezintaba ezidume kakhulu zezindiza, izintaba zeqhwa, abahamba ebusika nabanqamuleli beqhwa abathanda ukuhlola ukubuyela emuva. Isikhungo se- Colorado Avalanche sinikeza izibikezelo ezivamile nezinhlelo zemfundo kuwo wonke umbuso.
Amathiphu kusuka ku-Ski Partrollers we-Inbounds Skiing Extreme & Snowboarding kuma-Resorts
Chofoza kuma- Resorts Aphezulu Nge-Inbounds I-Backcountry Ski & Snowboard Terrain ukuthola izindawo ezingaphezulu zezazi zezintaba nabadlali be-snowboard ukuze ujabulele izakhiwo ze-backcountry ezisezindaweni zokubhuka. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi yisiphi isiphephelo sokushushuluza ngaphandle kwezingxube ze-Ski resort, vakashela ukuthi yikuphi ukuhamba kwe-Skiing ne-Snowboarding.
