You’re allowed to die there obviously nobody can stop you, you just can’t be buried there.
Easy. If you die, you are packed and shipped to mainland.
They simply wont officially pronounce you dead until your body had left Svalbard and gotten to the mainland. And you will be buried there
My life goal is to break this law; even if it kills me
If you die there they just use you as food for the polarbears, its a win win.
edit: grammar
You’re not allowed to be buried on Svalbard.
There, fixed it for you.
You also cannot be pregnant in the third trimester! Bc they don’t have a hospital with maternity ward.
If you get seriously ill, ypu will be sent to the mainland. Also if you get old and need help taking care of yourself. If you die in an accident or by a polar bear, your body will be sent away, for burial elsewhere.
Simple: If you are accused of dying on Svalbard, and convicted (because Norway still has some vestiges of the rule of law) by a ~~jury of your peers~~ panel of judges, you will be shot. After being transported to the mainland, obviously; they can’t well shoot you on Svalbard.
What, you don’t have necromancers where you are from?
This is a long lived myth that appears now and again. It’s just bullshit.
There’s a pretty sweet sci-fi-ish show starring Stanley Tucci that was thought up because of this fact. The basis being: what if there’s a murder on a place that shouldn’t need investigators? It’s called Fortitude. Highly recommend Season 1 (and nothing beyond that)
They will give you life in prison.
I have a dear friend who lived on Svalbard, so I was fortunate enough to have visited this gorgeous place. There is a small hospital, but it has limited capacity/capabilities, so the “rules” are an attempt to mitigate overwhelming the facility. Another oft-quoted myth/exaggeration is that the polar bears outnumber the people— not true, but it doesn’t take more than one to ruin your day. A man was killed by a polar bear at Longyearbyen camping just after I’d visited. Terrible tragedy. They’re called the kings of the north for a reason— polar bears dgaf about the rules.
I broke that law once and they punished me by tying me up and letting a polar bear ravage me to death then I got a lifetime ban from ever visiting again
When I’m 107 sky drop my body on Mount Everest. Preferably in a swimsuit, with sunglasses and a beach chair.
Make it top secret so they only find me when the next guys to climb Mount Everest appear.
resurrect you and fine you.
Could you just not digg up the 7 bodies and either burn them, along with the virus traces to ash?, or give them burial at sea? You would just need to keep the area off limits a few days or a week afterwards, and some guys in extremely protected hazmat suits, to dig the bodies up no?
You have a heart attack, the grim reaper comes, drags your body out of the permafrost, and then leaves.
If you get seriously ill, you will be transported to the main land. If you die they will transport you to the mainland.
Just leave them out to the polar bears. They’ll clean a carcass in seconds.
It’s not one rule saying you’ll get punished for dying.
It’s a policy saying you’re not allowed to die there. This policy or principle controls a whole package of special legislation for Svalbard (and exceptions for Svalbard in Norwegian legislation). Most importantly this principle controls who are allowed to live on Svalbard, and which public services are provided.
If you are not able to take care of yourself or your health is spiraling downward, you will get put on an airplane home.
There is a very small hospital on Svalbard, but you are not going to receive any end of life care there. They stabilize you for transport out of Svalbard, but they are not equipped for terminal care and will not allow you to die in a hospital bed there.
If you die in an accident, you’ll get sent to the mainland for autopsy. (Possibly they won’t even pronounce you dead at Svalbard.)
If you prefer the the wording “You are not allowed to be in Svalbard when you are dying.” might make more sense in English. The point is not that you’re not allowed to die, but you are not allowed to stay in Svalbard when you are dying.
You’ll most likely be sent to Mainland Norway if you die there.
Just a cover up for the real Lost island
It only says that you in general don’t have the right to be buried there, but there are some cases where you have the right or may get the possibility. And that he f you are to be buried there it’s only your ashes.
And I’m sure they’ll pronounce you dead at Svalbard too.
Here’s the main paragraph about it:
[…]
§ 3. Rett til grav
Med grav menes i denne forskriften urnegrav. Kistegrav tillates ikke.Avdøde personer som ved dødsfallet var bosatt på Svalbard har rett til grav på kirkegård i Longyearbyen. Svalbard kirke kan i særlige tilfeller gi tillatelse til at personer som ikke var bosatt på Svalbard også kan gravlegges her. For slike tilfeller kan det kreves dekning av kostnadene ved gravleggingen.
Its misleading, you’re just not allowed to live here, if a natural death is within the near future (so terminally ill and old people), if course you can die on the island, if it’s an accident. But don’t come here to die.
And if course you’re not allowed to be buried here.
In most cases of accidents tho, they will not declare you dead until you’re “warm and dead” meaning you’re inside somewhere and very clearly dead. In most caws that’s on the rescue plane to the mainland, so then you didnt die on the island, as you where declared dead in the plane. Disneyland does the same thing btw.
Me: *Dies on Svalbard out of spite*
It is very difficult to live on Svalbard. So usually you can’t live there as an old man
I know you’re just joking around, but how old are you seeing as he can be buried there so most likely they would make you into ashes or ship you to your country
They resurrect you.
If you are about to die they send you over to the mainland of Norway where they can die at a hospital. And if they were to die on Svalbard they will get packed up and sent either way. It’s not hard to understand
I mean, can’t they just leave you out as polar bear fodder?
Reduces the chance of clickers going after healthy people in the future (only people who have seen the last of us will get what I’m talking about)
if they catch you dying in 4k they will revive you and then kill you again /s
Move to Svalbard. Become immortal. /s
Simple. By not letting you die. As you are about to blow your last breath, law enforcement comes kicking in your door and gives you a good slap in the face, like: “HEY! WAKE UP, YOU CROOK! GO DIE HOME!”
