Less than two weeks after the Gansu Marathon incident, things continue to ferment.
The disappearance of 21 living lives can't help but make people rethink the meaning of extreme sports.
When life safety collides head-on with the fanatical pursuit of extreme sports, which is more important?
Some people think that extreme sports are his lifelong love, the meaning of his life. Risk your life and burn until the last moment of your life.
But there is a super pragmatic extreme sports enthusiast in the world, Niki Lauda, a legendary racing driver.
Niki is an Austrian who has been active in motor racing since the 1970s.
With his superb skills and precise control of racing performance, Niki successfully signed Ferrari shortly after his debut.
Niki represented Ferrari at the World F1 Championships, and the results speak for themselves.
Niki is a novice, but also a veteran of winning the championship.
Naturally, the accolades Niki received in his career are extraordinary.
But his intellect, his pragmatism, is what I see as niki's true core.
With a fanatical pursuit of limits, it is common for drivers to crash and die on the racing track.
They even see each match as the last showdown in their lives.
For the pursuit of limits, for the sake of winning the championship, for the so-called honor.
However, niki is quite cautious when the danger factor of the game is beyond Niki's tolerance and his life safety is threatened!
During the 1976 German Grand Prix in New berlin, a rain made the pavement slippery.
The organisers gathered all the drivers to discuss whether the race should be postponed.
Niki suggested canceling the day's race.
His exact words at the time were: "Every time we compete, we have a 20% chance of dying." I can accept this probability value, but as long as it exceeds the probability of 1%, I can't accept it. ”
However, not all drivers have Niki's prudence and sanity.
The riders, who were over-the-top and emotionally driven, voted and decided to continue racing.
Niki was still wrapped up on the track.
On the second lap of the track, Niki's car suddenly crashed into the guardrail next to it and bounced back into the middle of the track and caught fire, causing several subsequent cars to crash.
Niki was trapped in the car and could not get out, his face was burned severely, his lungs were sucked into a large amount of harmful hot gas, and one ear was almost burned.
Niki is admitted to the hospital and dies at the Ghost Gate.
After a few days in a coma, his first words when he woke up were, "Get the priest out of here!" I'm alive! ”
Niki needs a quick recovery and a return to the field.
Because the opponents are still on the field, he is not far behind.
After 6 weeks of unbearable treatment for ordinary people, Niki returned to the field again.
People exclaimed that Nikki, who had been so badly burned, returned to the game in only 42 days.
At the last stop of the season, Mt. Fuji, Japan, God once again made a big joke.
The sky was black and the showers made visibility extremely low.
The drivers knew it was going to be a tough race.
After consultation with the Japanese organizers, the competition proceeded as originally planned.
Niki knew that the danger factor of the day had completely exceeded his acceptable range.
After a moment of hesitation in the face of his wife and his family, Niki put on his helmet and went to battle.
According to the ranking at the time, if this game ran smoothly, he would be the champion of the season.
Win the championship and be just a step away from Niki!
In the showers, the players risked their lives to speed forward.
Life and death, only a line apart!
Breaking through the finish line for any racer, the appeal is too strong.
In Niki's mind, the figure of his wife kept coming up.
The most ordinary, the most precious family happiness.
Personal glory, family happiness, how to choose?!
After a few laps, Niki resolutely stopped.
yes! Niki is out!
The result of the game can be imagined, and the old rival James Hunt won the championship in the season!
Niki's lover asked him after the match if he regretted it, and he replied, "Gar nicht!" (Not at all)
Once a fan asked Niki to sign it, signed it and asked to write a date.
Niki asked, "Why?" ”
Fans replied: "No one knows if today is your last game." ”
Niki ignored it and turned away.
Many success books will say, "Success is to stick to it for one minute longer than others!" ”
Perhaps, Niki would say, "No! Give up when it's time to give up! ”
I highly recommend that you take a look at the film and television work "Fast Wind" that tells the life of Niki.
Niki is more than ordinary people's rationality and pragmatism, and will often knock on your heart, warning you of which is more important than me.
Looking back at the marathon incident, if those who have passed away, if they are strong enough about their own life safety, can they avoid this tragedy?!
