We are used to perceiving ourselves as a fairly brittle creature - only a few degrees higher body temperature, just a few extra minutes without air or days without water - and a person will not survive. However, there are people who have proved that the possibilities of the human body are endless.
Incredible human abilities
People are able to withstand amazing loads, doing this not even out of necessity, but simply because you want to learn something new or set a record.
Let's see what kind of feats people have committed:
- man managed to conquer the highest point of the globe - 8,848 km - Mount Jomolungma;
- a record descent into the water without proper diving equipment was 92 m;
- The record descent to the ground was 2158 km;
- a person is able to withstand the heat to 71 degrees Celsius for a whole hour;
- a frozen man with a body temperature of 26 degrees continues to think meaningfully;
- it is proved that with infectious diseases some people are able to transfer the temperature of 43 degrees and survive;
- the world record of running for a whole day for men is 303.5 km, for women - 250.1.
As can be seen from these simple examples, the possibilities of the psyche and the body are really greatly underestimated.
The unique possibilities of man
Let's consider rare and unique cases when people managed to show some incredible opportunities:
- There is a case where, in 1985, a fisherman, wrecked, swam without stopping for 5 hours in icy water, and after that he walked 3 more hours barefoot on the cold shore - and survived!
- The boy from Norway fell through the ice, and found it only after 40 minutes. After the first aid was given, signs of life appeared, and two days later he returned to consciousness.
- In Belgium, a case was recorded where a person could withstand 5 minutes in a chamber with a temperature of 200 degrees.
The possibilities of the human body, if they have boundaries, are far beyond what they are supposed to exhibit. It is important to believe in yourself in every situation - and then nothing is impossible!
