To prevent sudden death accidents during mountain climbing, climbers must thoroughly check their physical condition. Especially for older individuals or those with underlying health conditions, it is important to undergo a health checkup in advance and avoid overly strenuous climbing routes. It is also necessary to do sufficient stretching and warm-up exercises before hiking, and to take frequent breaks during the climb.

When eating, consume an appropriate amount, and avoid overeating or eating hastily. Prepare light and nutritious foods that do not burden digestion, and it is also good to take sufficient rest and eat slowly. Additionally, people who are allergic or sensitive to certain foods should be cautious about this.

If you feel unwell during a hike, it is important to immediately stop hiking and seek help. Maintaining continuous communication with your companions and preparing rescue equipment or first aid kits for emergency situations are also essential.
