How do tourists protect themselves when they encounter avalanches when crossing canyons in Tibet?

On April 3, tourists encountered an avalanche in the Gong Yi Grand Canyon while passing through Bagai Township, bomi county, Tibet. The snow on the top of the mountain is overwhelming and falls down the canyon road. Fortunately, tourists drove away in time, causing no casualties. After the video was posted online, many netizens were shocked by the power of avalanches and realized the danger of exploring snow-capped mountains in cold weather. How to protect yourself if you really encounter an avalanche when traveling in the wild snow-capped mountains? Let's analyze it below.

If you are lucky, you can leave safely and calmly away from the avalanche site. But in many cases, avalanches happen very close to people. How can we avoid self-protection at this time? You know, if people can't escape and be buried in the snow for more than half an hour, they may never get out again. Avalanches are usually large amounts of snow rolling down from top to bottom. At this time, if you run in the direction of snow falling, it is easy to be caught up and buried by snow, because people's feet are not as fast as snow falling. At this time, we should quickly run to the left and right sides of the rolling direction of snow, and strive to run out of its power influence range before the arrival of snow.

Give up useless things and look for fixtures. In the process of running for your life, you should try to throw away crutches, sledges, skis and other burdens, as well as backpacks, and strive for time to get out of the snow area as soon as possible. At this critical time, these things are not worth nostalgia. In case you are covered with snow, rescuers can easily find your trail to rescue you according to what you left behind. If there is really no way to escape or there is no time to escape, you can hold on to a relatively strong tree or hold on to a big stone. If the avalanche is small, you can climb out of the danger after the snow and ice pour out.

In case an avalanche is buried, the best way to protect yourself is to prepare the first-aid equipment to prevent the avalanche before going to the snow mountain. If you really can't escape being submerged by an avalanche, you can continue swimming in the snow and avoid falling into the snow to some extent. If you are lucky, you can stay on the top of the snowdrift, which is conducive to the next self-help and escape. At this time, don't care about other things, use backstroke or dog-climbing swimming to go against the snow. If you are really buried in the snow, you can take a deep breath before being completely buried, then close your mouth quickly, don't let the snowflake choke your throat, and then leave a breathing space in front of your face with your hands, which has a certain effect on avoiding suffocation. If it is not buried deep enough to escape, you can put your hand out of the snow and wait for rescue; If you see light through the snow, it means it is not far from the ground. Dig it out directly if you have the strength.
