Again there is one young man ended up his life dead after Half Marathon event was completed. Plus other one man and one young lady were in serious condition and were hospitalized. The casualty is a Clerk in a Construction Company. The 25 man Mok who was in fact found to use his friend Wong’s information to run as Mr. Wong was busy working in Shenzhen and had no time to participate. Insurance Company will not pay anything to this Mr. Wong as he is not because of the third party’ ignorance causing this accident. He hurts because of his personal reason like lacking of preparation or rehearsal before the event. This isn’t the first time, I remember that there were two cases of death in 2007 whereby may be one of the reason of bad weather was the causes, all cases are those people who found to be death after they completed their target,That is a purely the Mindset has a strong will to over control the physical body which is not strong enough to maintain to be functional.
Most of the cases were they are not having enough training and warm up before the event.
A Marathon will consume a lot of energy and most of the case their Cardiac condition has to be able to sustain the event.
I have an acute stoppage of my heart when I had a very extreme Push for my body going up hill at high speed, luckily I did not push further or I will not be here to talk about Marathon, young man sometimes may over estimate their physical condition...
Hope that this is the last time to have this unluckily event and hope that all participants did not underestimate the physcal condition of the body.
Think carefully and consult your family doctor when you participant Standard Chartered Marathon 2013.
Hope that this is the last case and everyone can enjoy Marathon in 2013.
