Lu Wen, a 26-year-old graduate student from Fudan University who has traveled to Nepal twice and trekked in Tibet, set off for Mount Everest on February 4 with the intention of conquering the first peak.
Before leaving, he sent a message to his father: "Don't worry, everything is ready, and the insurance has been bought." Subsequently, he issued the policy to his father.
On the afternoon of February 11, Ruben suffered altitude sickness and immediately returned, but when he was 900 meters away from the hotel, he was weak and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he used the searchlight on his head to send a distress signal in the direction of the hotel, which happened to be seen by the travelers who were resting in the hotel.
At that time, there was no telephone signal, so we had to rely on this primitive way of calling for help. After a while, several enthusiastic travelers took Lu Wen back to the hotel.
At that time, Lu Wen was conscious, the communication was normal, and after the traveler fed him liquid food and water, he was allowed to rest and recover his strength.
The next day, the traveler checked his status, and Ruben told the traveler not to worry about him, and that it was time to climb the mountain and continue to climb the mountain. After the traveler came back in the afternoon, he checked Lu Wen's status again, except for the lack of strength, other communication was normal.
That night, Ruben's condition deteriorated and he was sweating profusely. Some travelers waited for the mountain to go down the mountain after dawn to call the insurance company for rescue, but there was no signal on the mountain.
However, the insurance company said that its policy did not cover the Nepal area and could provide rescue, but the caller would need to transfer the rescue cost to its dollar account.
Due to the language barrier, no dollar account, the bank does not work, etc., after a delay of several hours, the insurance company's helicopter departed, but the weather was bad at that time, and it was impossible to land, so it had to return and wait for the weather to improve.
That night, Leven lost his breath, and the next day, when the rescue helicopter arrived, it was too late.
After the incident, Mr. Ruwen's father said he would hold the insurance company accountable because the coverage area on his homepage did not indicate that Nepal was not included.
For the first time, it felt like the insurance company was right, and it was a "wolf coming" story.
Someone asked why the insurance company didn't pay in advance, and the same was Fudan:
At the same time, I would like to remind friends who like sports, non-professional athletes, please do not challenge similar sports, and do what you can.
