In 2003, for example, on the 50th anniversary of the first successful summiting of Everest, almost 100 people made their way to the top, and thanks to the clear weather everyone made it back down safely. Had the weather turned bad, though, even if only five people had been up there they could easily have died.
以 2003 年人類登頂聖母峰 50 週年為例，曾有一天近百人往來穿梭於山頂的紀錄，因為天氣晴朗大家都平安下山，但若天氣惡劣，就算人數很少也可能發生意外。
