Yesterday, the 3.15 evening party exposed the problem of "unsafe" seat belts in high-altitude projects in scenic spots.
In 2022, in the Jiushan Top Scenic Area of Tianjin, a tourist suddenly fell into a coma and hung in the air while playing the "Step by Step" Internet celebrity suspension bridge project.
During the rescue, the seat belt suddenly fell off, and the tourist fell down the valley, unfortunately dying.
On the same day, in the Enshi Dixin Valley Scenic Area in Hubei Province, a ten-year-old boy accidentally stepped on the air while playing in the same project, his seat belt broke off his body, he fell off the suspension bridge, and his lumbar and thoracic vertebrae were fractured.
Most of these scenic high-altitude projects use "three-point safety belts", firefighters from the National Fire Rescue Bureau said:
The three-point harness is fastened around the tourist's waist, and it is easy to break the person's ribs after a crash. In the rescue, it is also easy to fall off twice.
Its safety is far inferior to the five-point safety belt, but because the three-point safety belt is relatively faster to wear, it can digest the queue of tourists faster, and is more favored by scenic spots.
The staff of the Xiyou Dong Scenic Area said:
"It's simply not safe for a (child) to be as young as this, and you can't make money if you don't sell (tickets)."
In addition to these high-altitude projects, there are many seemingly fun rides that are actually dangerous, and it is recommended that girls take their children less to play.
Part.1 Trampoline
The trampoline in the playground is a favorite of many children.
But did you know that reports of accidents playing on trampolines are also common.
In 2019, the American Academy of Pediatrics conducted a detailed statistical analysis of the injuries caused by trampolines to children.
The report found that about 97,908 children were injured by trampolines in the United States in 2009, of whom 3,164 were hospitalized.
Thereinto:
Children 5 years of age and younger are at higher risk of injury.
About 75% of child injuries occur while multiple children are playing on a trampoline.
Injuries they received include:
Fractures, head injuries, nerve injuries to the neck or spine, sprains, abrasions, etc., which cannot be completely avoided by parental supervision and protection.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly discourages trampoline as a recreational activity, especially prohibiting children from somersaulting on trampolines.
Regardless of the form of trampoline, there are potential risks.
Even with protective tools such as bungee ropes, when a child jumps several meters in the air, it may cause limb fractures and damage to the spine.
In general, children under the age of 6, brain and bone growth are not yet fully developed, and when playing on the trampoline, they are prone to bias in the center of gravity, causing injury.
Therefore, it is not recommended for children under 6 years old to jump on the trampoline.
Part.2 Bouncy castle
Two days ago, at a temple meeting in Baoshan, Yunnan, a bouncy castle was suddenly blown up by a strong wind.
Multiple men reached out to grab it, and one of them was taken into the air by the bouncy castle scraped away and dropped.
The next day, fortunately, there were no children in the castle at that time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not all children are so lucky, and if the castle is blown up by high winds or suddenly leaks, it is possible to drop and injure the child.
Take a look at the casualties that have occurred in recent years because of bouncy castles:
Behind every child killed or injured is the regret and collapse of a family.
It is really not recommended that girls take children to play, they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
If the child insists on wanting to play, in order to avoid risks, the girls should pay attention to the following two things:
Choose a facility with chains
Before taking children to play with the bouncy castle, be sure to carefully see if the operator has fixed the iron chain to the ground, only complete safety measures can ensure safety.
Don't let children play on windy days
Bad weather must not allow children to play bouncy castles, otherwise once the facility is suddenly blown up, the child may be knocked down, injured or even killed.
In short, this kind of thing plays as little as possible, if the child really wants to play, adults should also take care of it nearby and pay attention to the child's movements at any time.
Part.3 Water walking ball
The water walking ball is fun to watch, and the child is in a large plastic bubble, through the cooperation of hands and feet, let the ball roll and walk on the water.
But beware, this thing also has security risks.
In order to prevent water from penetrating, the sphere is fully sealed, and in hot weather, the child stays in it for a long time and is prone to lack of oxygen.
If the sphere is accidentally punctured, the child may also be suffocated, drowned, and other dangers.
And this sphere has no exit, and in case of danger, it can only be opened from the outside.
In addition, if the depth of the water is not qualified, it will not work.
According to the regulations, the water walking ball project requires:
The water depth must be deeper than 0.5 meters, but not more than 1.5 meters, and it should only be carried out on relatively static open water.
But in the park, most of the lakes are more than 1.5 meters deep.
If the child must play, pay attention to the following 3 points:
Try to choose a water walking ball program set in the pool (water depth standard).
The child is inside for up to 10 minutes.
Take care of the children throughout the process.
Part.4 Water park
As soon as the weather is hot, the water park and swimming pool become the fragrant food for children.
Water parks are fun, but do you know how dirty they are?
People who have worked in water parks revealed:
"I hardly change the water and I sprinkle bleach at night. There are those who and pee inside, there are those who spit..."
"I change the water almost once every 3 months, and every day a whole bucket of disinfectant water is poured into it, and the lifeguards go into the water to salvage garbage, and they will have red rashes on their bodies after coming up."
What happens when a child plays in dirty water full of germs?
Last year, 21 children in Sichuan Province contracted adenovirus after swimming and had a high fever.
Doctors removed a leech, up to 5 centimeters, from a 9-year-old girl in Dongguan who had a nosebleed after swimming.
Girls are more likely to have urinary tract infections or vaginitis due to their different physiology and males.
So, try to take your children to the water park as little as possible.
If the child insists on playing, it is not firmly impossible.
We have to take care of the children:
The first is to choose a regular large-scale water park;
The second is to judge whether the water quality is qualified through "four looks and a smell".
See if there is a health license, practitioner health certificate;
Look at the water quality self-inspection publicity of the park to check whether the indicators meet the national standards (residual chlorine concentration 0.3-1.0mg/L, pH 6.5-8.5, pool water temperature 22-26°C);
Check whether the environment is clean and clean, and whether there are sanitary facilities such as compulsory foot dipping pools as required;
See if the pool water is turbid.
The last smell is whether there is a pungent smell in the pool water.
In addition, you should also take protective measures, you can use waterproof stickers, worry-free stickers, and try to avoid direct contact with disinfectants and bacteria infection in private parts.
After going back, give the child a shower and wash it in time.
Part.5 Roller coaster
The roller coaster is a thrilling and fun event, but not for children who are too young.
On the one hand, the roller coaster equipment of some amusement parks is too old and there are certain safety risks.
On the other hand, children may damage their brains during the roller coaster ride.
Experts said that roller coasters are high-speed entertainment projects, and children's brains are not yet mature, and it is easy to have brain congestion or arterial tears after violent impacts.
A 4-year-old boy in the United Kingdom returned home after riding a roller coaster, unable to walk directly, vomiting and paralyzed the left side of his body.
When he went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said that the little boy had suffered a stroke due to a torn artery near the brain, and a blood clot blocked the brain.
Some people may say, you can't stop eating because of choking, this is not allowed to play, then let children play.
Of course, there are no absolutes, and we cannot resist all harm for our children, but we can minimize the possibility of children being hurt.
Finally, I want to remind girls that they must choose age-appropriate formal play equipment for their children.
Read the game instructions carefully and choose the right items according to the child's age, height and other requirements.
It is our responsibility and obligation as parents not to take chances in the face of hidden dangers and not to give opportunities to take advantage of dangers.
I hope that every child can grow up safely and healthily.
