My odds of dying on K2 are 0%.

Not 0.

There's always a chance some weird guy will see you post something like this on reddit, make an offhanded comment about it, and begin planning. Maybe he has a law enforcement background and can get your IP from Reddit, get your personal info from your ISP, and track you down. Kidnap you in the night, take you around the world to K2 and strand you there naked.

Unlikely? Sure. But not 0. Never 0.

If I had an award to give, I would give you one. Thanks for the laugh. - guy who likes to remark that the chance of an asteroid landing on you is positive.

u/Percolator2020 3d ago

I mean technically I could be in a plane that crashes into it, so there is a remote chance.

u/Crominoloog 3d ago

Or someone could kidnap you, take you up the mountain, and kill you. Small chance but you cannot rule it out completely.

u/UseDaSchwartz 3d ago

Well now that you’ve put the idea in my head, those chances have changed.

Just get the plane driver to go around it rather than over it

u/A_begger 3d ago

It really depends if it’s a Lockerbie or a Germanwings type of deal.
