Combustion is releasing chemical energy through a chemical reaction. Boiling or sublimation (vaping) are both changes in the substances phase and are governed by different physics. Boiling and vaping happen without the molecules changing their composition.

Yeah while they are hauling stuff to base camp a group of them will pay one or two of the village kids to follow them all day just nonstop hand rolling cigarettes for them all to smoke.

bitcoin bastard posted:tbh if you use a charcoal grill while on ecstasy on a plane, your chance of dying might be closer to everest If you are gonna do it, spent $100 to do it on the plane that flies from Kathmandu to Everest. It doesn't land, but you can drop those molly bombs while LOOKING at Everest through the window. dj_clawson fucked around with this message at 04:28 on May 26, 2016 |

If you made a summit push while you were rolling on dat Molly you prob wouldn't need as many layers, you could also suppliment your push with a bottle of nitrous

zedprime posted:Some of the more cadillac climb deals come with hypobaric chamber time just for pretraining, to make the acclimatization at base camp that much simpler. I think he meant spend a solid week in the chamber and see if you start to die,maybe climb away on a step machine or something. With Wifi it wouldn't be too bad. First man to jack off at the top of a simulated everest.

He was on the sidelines and just collapsed from congenital heart failure. Does that count? He was in uniform.

Ash1138 posted:I'm talking about deaths on the field, which are generally considered to be "something has gone horribly wrong" so much like a skydiving accident. I'm sure if early deaths from CTE-induced health issues/suicide are included, it would be worse. Well, football players dying on the field is extremely rare now. Most of the time it turns out to be something like a congenital heart defect or something like that, where they could have been doing any strenuous athletic thing and dropped dead. So I think what you'd actually be interested in are deaths caused by football, e.g., injury-related. I'm sure we are all shocked to find out that there is a Wikipedia article about Health Issues in American Football. quote:Catastrophic injuries—defined as serious injury to the spine, spinal cord, or brain—and fatalities are uncommon in football; both have become less common since the 1970s, although a small number of them still occur each year. Both concussions and catastrophic injuries can be caused by helmet-to-helmet collisions as well as impact against the ground or other players' knees; in other cases, they can be caused by players who have sustained a head injury returning to play, which can place the player at risk of sustaining a severe injury. Despite the downturn in catastrophic injuries, a greater number of players at the NFL level reported major injuries and shortened careers from the 1970s onwards, in part due to the increasing size and speed of players and the use of artificial turf. The section Catastrophic injuries and fatalities includes a table showing all deaths 2010-12, from "sandlot", high school, college, semi-pro, and pro, totaled 11, or a little under 4 per year. I'm no statistician but I bet that's comparable to the number of injury-related deaths in virtually any contact sport. In any case we'd also need some kind of metric of the total number of hours of play in the country in order to develop a useful deadly-injury-rate figure which we could compare to Everest attempts.

Already linked to and discussed on the previous page, pr0k. That's specifically the metric I would be interested in calculating, but first we need to know how many hours (or days or whatever) of all types of American football are played each year.

The death rates for skydiving are so low because they put divers through a ton of safety training before they're even allowed on the plane. For everest all you need is 25 grand and a massive ego, training optional.

There is a surprising lack of 360 degree panoramas of Everest with all the lesser peaks labeled.
