Answer:

Because they are in places that may be extremely cold

Step-by-step explanation:

For example take Mount Everest. This place is a very high mountain, and is very cold. Usually hikers would get a frost bite from how cold it is in there. According to google, "Frostbite is an injury caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues."
