Man tossed by 109 mph winds atop Mount Washington

[@CB-wr1yq]

Imagine how fast you would go if you ran in the same direction as the wind.

[@MrThidious]

And then jumping like he did. He'd still be flying to this day 🤣

[@joelexline9]

Lmao that would be a gnarly fall

[@frigidlava617]

he would porbably fall off the side of the summit

[@skie6282]

Probably like 60mph+

In the 1930s, Mount Washington Observatory recorded wind speeds of 231 miles per hour (371 km/h). For decades, this was the fastest recorded wind speed on Earth, and remains the fastest wind speed recorded that wasn't associated with a tornado or hurricane/typhoon. Although Mount Washington is far from the tallest mountain on Earth, it's the most topographically prominent for hundreds of miles and North America's major wind patterns all converge in the White Mountains. >161 people have died in the Presidential Range (of which Mount Washington is part). For comparison, 330 have died on Mount Everest. Obviously far more people visit Mount Washington, but very few of them die due to mountaineering accidents - it's all due to exposure. Even in the height of summer, conditions can be awful. William Buckingham Curtis, an experienced athlete often called the father of modern amateur athletics, died on Mount Washington on June 30th, 1900. He was caught in a snowstorm and died from exhaustion before reaching safety. That's how dangerous the weather is here: A very athletic man died in a snowstorm in the middle of summer.

[@kickrun7709]

My friend and I actually climbed it in a couple hours this past November!!! Super fun and windy hike. Only issue was the parking lot at the top, lol

[@smcheeto]

I went backpacking on the presidential range in september 2023, around the same time this comment was posted. It got below freezing overnight, and thankfully I had packed a heavy enough sleeping bag, but it was still very cold...

Yep. For awhile it was colder than Mars. Thats an insane stat, closest youd get to being on another planet.

if a hiker gets caught in winds like this on mt washington.. what does he do? hide under rocks I supposed.

[@captainquint25]

If cold enough, dies.

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

There are quite a few graves up there

[@VSDalSheron]

hide until what? I am told the winds never truly die

[@mattb3910]

go down, or hide behind a rock or one of the buildings, hopefully with a bivy sack and extra clothes. I've been up there in winter when it was 0F with ~60 mph winds. I had all the right gear (plus extra) and it actually wasn't too bad lol

[@johnsumner6185]

Dig your ice ax into the snow, lay low, wait for a lull, when you can make your way back to the opposite of the Mtn the wind is coming from.. BTDT!

[@FlatEarthMath]

The wind chill was measured in Kelvin.

Great for quad & glute training. Who needs a weighted sled when you've got the wind.

[@matthewgallant3622]

The fastest winds I’ve ever experienced I think were on Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks, maybe 40-50mph winds, enough to hold you up but this is a whole other level. We’re summitting Mount Washington for the first time in a few weeks, weather permitting!

[@apgaming6696]

We need some wind mills up there

[@genericenbynix]

would break, wind mills can only survive winds that are much slower than this

[@RingoYote]

Would break, and snap, Windmills like the giant 200ft ones that sit atop hills or in open lands are only designed to handle 40mph and any faster and the computer tells the blades to turn flat and the clutch in the gear system disengages and applies a firm 500 ton brake,

[@troy.u3297]

idiot

[@areenbhalekar949]

Maybe design a special type of wind mill, that could beat winds upto 300mph

the highest recorded wind speed on Earth was recorded on the peak of mount Washington at 231 mph. Is that also common on the mountains of Germany?

[@RandomGerman8008]

Slightly stronger wind speed than germany. But in general, I was referring to the air current being strong enough to knock people off their feet and almost impossible to push against when your trying to walk into the wind. Like the stuff happening in this video. Common in the high peaks of the german mountains.

[@billeisenhauer9556]

Oh i mean thats basically common everywhere. This video just made youtube just because it is mount Washington so its got some more publicity than if you said "strong wing in my backyard" or something lol

I am sure that you are right. Germany has its share of bags of wind just as Washington does. We call them "politicians". Only they are more common in cities than in the mountains.
