The Spring Festival is approaching, and the children are on holiday. While parents are happy for their children on vacation and feel at ease that they finally don't have to get up early and send their children to school, they must not ignore the hidden dangers!
Think about it:
Suppose you are walking on the road, and the people around you are happily chatting about the sky, and suddenly something falls from the sky and hits you right in front of you. Half a step away, you may be hit, or even bleed in the head.
What do you think at this time? Is it a palpitation? Or is the opening the "essence of the country"?
The above situation is just our hypothesis, and it is frightening just to think about it. But in real life, such events happen all the time.
A while ago, something similar happened in Chongqing.
A 4-year-old boy was playing downstairs when suddenly a glass bottle was thrown downstairs by a resident. The glass bottle first smashed the branch of a tree, and then hit the boy, who was immediately knocked unconscious.
Up to now, the boys are still being treated in intensive care units and are not life-threatening.
Although the police have found the murderer, the serious consequences of throwing objects from high altitudes are far more than this one!
The girl was claimed 5.44 million for one action!
March 9, 2018, Dongguan, Guangdong.
An 11-year-old girl threw an apple from her balcony, and the apple hit the head of a three-month-old baby girl downstairs who was being carried for a walk by her family.
The apple shattered into slag after hitting the baby girl's head, and the baby girl fell into a coma.
Recently, the hospital identified the baby girl as having severe head injury and the right brain function may be completely lost and requires lifelong care.
In April 2019, the baby girl's family took the girl and her parents to court for $5.44 million.
Although there have been bloody lessons, and high-altitude projectiles have been criminalized, this is definitely not the last thing.
In June 2019, a 5-year-old boy in Shenzhen was hit by a glass window falling from a height and unfortunately died;
In June 2019, a 10-year-old girl was injured by a high-altitude projectile and sent to the ICU for many days, and the culprit was an 8-year-old boy;
In July 2019, a middle-aged woman in Guiyang City was killed by a fire extinguisher thrown from a high altitude, and the thrown object was a 10-year-old boy;
...
The tragedy is not an isolated case, but a despair hanging over each of our heads!
High-altitude projectiles are enough to make people angry, and even more infuriating is the attitude of those thrown objects, and the serious consequences caused!
In August 2019, in a residential area in Guiyang, a man and his mother entered the elevator together. Subsequently the man violently disassembled the fingerprint lock on the elevator:
Subsequently, the man threw the removed fingerprint lock from the 26th floor, and his mother was very calm throughout the whole process, and did not stop it:
And the fingerprint lock that was thrown down smashed a large pit downstairs. If someone happens to be passing by at this time, the consequences are really unimaginable.
In May 2021, in a residential area in Changsha, a man and his wife were hit on the head by a brick thrown from a high altitude on the way to pick up a courier, and died on the spot.
It may be that things are too sudden, and the wife has not yet reacted, collapsing in place and collapsing and crying.
Who dares to believe that the family who held hands with themselves one second and had talked and laughed, the next second they died in Huangquan. They couldn't believe that just going downstairs to get a courier would be so unfortunate!
What's even more sad is that their daughter has only been born for two months...
The harm of high-altitude projectiles is far more serious than you think!
You may think that throwing a small thing in the air will not harm such a big thing, right?
Then take the above apple that smashed the girl into a serious injury as an example, CCTV's "First Time" has done relevant experiments:
A normal-sized apple was dropped from a height of 10 meters, and its speed was even faster than that of the 100-meter runner. A thick plate under the apple was directly smashed open.
You can imagine what the consequences would be if there was a pedestrian walking below!
Whether the injury after the high-altitude projectile is serious is actually related to the shape, weight, and height of the falling object! It is precisely because of this that those things that usually seem inconspicuous often have more unexpected consequences after falling from a high altitude.
People's Daily had done relevant research earlier, and the results were also surprising:
When you think that high-altitude projectiles are only a very rare event, their harm has already spread. In 2016-2018 alone, in the two years, courts across the country concluded more than 1,200 cases related to high-altitude projectiles.
In the past decade or so, high-altitude projectiles and falling objects have caused at least 85 casualties. These are only those that have a greater impact, and those that are disabled by this are even more numerous.
Dr. Lilac has done a special statistic, among the nearly 2,000 people who participated in the survey, more than half of them have witnessed high-altitude projectiles, and one-tenth of them have been hit by high-altitude projectiles or falling objects!
How to prevent high-altitude projectiles?
High-altitude projectiles emerge in an endless stream, in addition to some adult malicious projectiles and accidental fall off of high-altitude walls, more bear children "unintentionally". Therefore, as a parent, we must do a good job in education.
Parents set an example
It is said that parents are the child's first teacher, and it is precisely because of this that children will always learn the parents' actions and words and deeds. If as a parent, you always intentionally or unintentionally throw cigarette butts and garbage outside the window, then as a child, you will definitely feel that this behavior is no problem, and when they have it, they may throw cans, bottles and fruits.
Educate children from an early age
Usually, we must educate our children more, telling them that it is wrong to throw things out of the window, not only will it hurt others, but also they will have to pay for it.
Precautions ahead
If the home is high-rise, be sure to close the balcony, install screens on the windows, etc.; do not place wine bottles, vases and other things that children can throw down at will on the balcony, especially by the window; whether you go out by yourself or with your family, you must not stay on the high-rise side for a long time, and do not stay for a long time under billboards and construction sites in extreme bad weather.
Do not leave your child alone at home
It is the nature of children to be playful and active, so try not to let the children be alone at home and do not let the children leave their sight for a long time.
Post-injury treatment
After being hit by a high-altitude projectile, try not to give the injured person food or drink water, because the injured person may be accompanied by internal injuries. If you eat and drink blindly, it may cause aspiration, which can aggravate the condition. If the injured person has an injury to the neck area, try not to carry the injured person to avoid secondary injury.
