It's always nice to take photos while traveling, but once you cross a safe border, accidents often wait......
It's a pity that before the May Day travel rush officially began, someone had already had an accident - because of taking pictures.
On April 21, local time, the Indonesian police announced that on the 20th, a Chinese tourist fell to his death at the Izhen volcano in Indonesia. Police said the 31-year-old Chinese tourist died after falling into a canyon tens of meters deep while taking pictures on the edge of the Yizhen crater.
Dwi Sugiharto, an official with Indonesia's East Java Natural Resources Defense Agency (BKSDA), said the tourist had fallen into a canyon about 75 meters deep and it took rescuers two hours to remove the body. In addition, Sugiharto said that the incident was purely accidental, and reminded all tourists to pay attention to safety when climbing Mount Ijin. The police also said that the hospital and police had difficulty communicating with the families of the tourists killed due to language problems, and tentatively planned to transport the remains to Bali and then return to China by air. @来源: China News Weekly

Deadly Shot ......
According to local media reports, the Chinese tourist and her husband were led by a guide to the climbing route of Mount Izhen.
At around 0:00 on the 20th, the two set off from other places;
At around 2 a.m., the climb began;
At around 4 a.m., arrive at the Ijin Crater to see the famous "Blue Fire" and take photos......
At around 6 o'clock local time, the two continued to take photos at multiple photo spots, and then arrived at the place where the accident occurred, an "Internet celebrity tree" that is quite popular on domestic social media.

On the 21st, the local police reported that the accident was purely an accident and reminded all tourists to pay attention to safety when climbing Mount Ijin.
The police said that at that time, the guide had warned that this Internet celebrity check-in spot was very dangerous, but the victim still insisted and wanted to take sunrise photos here. After the photo was taken, she took a few steps back before accidentally stepping on her long skirt and falling into a cliff about 75 meters deep behind her.
Due to local conditions, the helicopter could not be rescued after an accident.

Because the incident occurred at about 6 o'clock in the morning and the location was remote, it took rescuers 2 hours to find the female tourist who had fallen, but unfortunately, the female tourist had died when she was found. At 11 a.m. that day, the body was transported down the mountain.
According to local media reports, the medical team said that the victim's body had bruises on the top of his head and other parts, and that his right ankle and left knee were fractured.
After the incident, a cordon has been set up near the "Internet Celebrity Tree", and tourists are no longer allowed to take pictures near the "Internet Celebrity Tree" involved.

Once the largest source of sulfur in Indonesia, Mount Ijin is one of the only places in the world where you can see blue flames, making it a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. Visitors are required to wear a protective mask to filter volcanic ash and sulphurous vapour, as well as a headlamp. After 2023, Yizhen Volcano will become popular with the release of the documentary "Volcano Love". A nearby tree has also become a photo spot, with many influencers taking beautiful photos here, and many girls wearing skirts on social media. But in fact, the other side of the "Internet Celebrity Tree" is a cliff, which is very dangerous and unprotected, and the local guide said, "There is very limited space to stand there, and tourists can have an accident if they take a few more steps." Usually the guide will warn you of the risks, but the tourists will not necessarily listen to the dissuasion."
Indonesian media reported that there had been previous attempts by foreign tourists to check in and take photos in similar places and almost fell from a height.
The danger warning signs that appear in front of you, the billowing smoke in the darkness in the distance, makes people wonder if they are here for adventure or tourism, the blue flame is not seen, but it feels like a ghost is really going to be hit. Photo/Harrison
Photos aren't all there is to travel
The deceased is gone, and I hope to rest in peace.
But it could have been a tragedy that could have been avoided. There are also routes related to Mount Izhen in China, but accidents are not necessarily linked to the routes. Although outdoor travel is dangerous, a large part of it is due to the people themselves. After all, nature doesn't tolerate carelessness.
Is it really worth it to choose to dress without regard for the environment, ignore the potential risks, or focus your travel energy on taking photos at the check-in point in order to take beautiful photos?

A blogger on Xiaohongshu @poke the hornet's nest user said what I thought:
"Chinese people overlook films, especially girls, and I am not immune, but to be honest, when I see a girl shivering in a bikini with full makeup and a bikini at one or two o'clock in the morning on the top of Bromo Mountain, and a girl in a long skirt and a beautiful photo in the poisonous gas of the entire respiratory tract in Sulphur Lake even though she is wearing a gas mask, I really feel very sad.
When I see the girls in the volcano posts with long skirts and delicate makeup, it seems to say that even in the most difficult environment, girls must remain beautiful.
A Chinese woman who has to make a film all her life is also a Chinese woman who has been serving in the United States all her life. ”
Of course, there's nothing wrong with beauty, and no one wants something to happen, but trade-offs and games are always a delicate thing, especially when dealing with nature. We can't afford to lose.
Do you think it's okay to shiver in the ice and snow of the plateau and take a set of bikini or long skirt photos, but what if a cold induces a high reaction? Do you think it's very domineering to stand on a big rock and point out the mountains and rivers, in case your feet slip?......

This "bloody photo" incident is not the first time, and it will most likely not be the last. Similar photo accidents have been exposed several times in the second half of last year alone:
- On July 22, a girl in a scenic spot in Shaanxi Province accidentally fell to the bottom of a 60-meter-deep cliff while climbing and taking pictures, and was injured and trapped. It is understood that the girl kept changing the shooting angle on the mountain before falling off the cliff, and accidentally fell off the cliff in the process, but fortunately the rescue was timely.
- On August 9, in Yuliang Dam, Yucheng District, Ya'an, Sichuan, 11 aunts posed for photos in the river, encountered torrential rain and flood discharge from the upstream, many people were washed away, 7 people were killed and 4 people were rescued. According to eyewitnesses, the aunts did not heed the persuasion of the people around them before the accident, which led to the tragedy.
- On September 11, a woman in Gongyi City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, accidentally dropped her mobile phone in a stone crack outside the guardrail when she was playing and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery at the Housi River Waterfall. In order to retrieve her phone, she unfortunately fell into a 40-meter-high waterfall while climbing over a guardrail. Members of the local rescue team entered the deep pool with professional rescue tools and salvaged it in less than 1 minute, but the woman had unfortunately passed away.
- On October 3, a tourist drowned in the river while taking pictures in Dengshenggou in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province. On the 5th, the staff of Deng Shenggou Scenic Area confirmed to the reporter of Nandu, "The day before yesterday (3rd), someone took pictures and fell into the river and drowned, and the body has been found." ”
- On November 18, a 23-year-old Henan college student went to Weinan, Shaanxi Province alone to visit Huashan, and was found dead near the East Peak after 10 days of disappearance, presumably because his foot slipped accidentally while taking pictures, "It is nearly 200 meters from the top of the mountain to the second floor, and from the second to the third floor is 200 meters to 300 meters, and we estimate that the fall is at least more than 700 meters high." “

Is it true to stand on the top to be proud? Is it true bravery to be close to the edge of a cliff? Is it freedom to climb over a guardrail? Is it bold to ignore the hints?...... After the accident, I think you will have some new insights when you reflect on the small problems that you don't think are worth mentioning during your trip.
It's good to freeze the moment, but it's actually a kind of putting the cart before the horse. Traveling is not just a curiosity, deliberate acquisition, perhaps not as good as an immersive experience.

Give yourself back to yourself, give yourself back to nature.
Beautiful photos and likes from the circle of friends are sometimes not so important, and having met and experienced them is already an important mark in life.
The holidays are just around the corner, and safety is paramount!
As for the accident, it is not far away, it happens to others, and it may only be one step away from happening to yourself. I myself had a thrilling experience of almost "breaking down the mountain":
We often say it's safe to travel.
Words are on the lips, but do you really meet the safety guidelines in your actions? Some "seemingly indifferent" are fine, "I can", and "I'm fine", but in fact, there are huge risks hidden.
The following points are shared, hoping to bring some caution before traveling.
四姑娘二峰。图/子君 I know that a lot of "going it alone" is actually a last resort. For example, the person who made the appointment temporarily released the pigeons, for example, there was an unexpected situation on the way and there was a disagreement on the route, such as feeling that the route to go was capable enough for promotion......
No matter where the starting point is, many seeds of accident have been planted when it finally leads to solitude.
Incidents such as broken feet, wrestling, primary hypothermia, and loss of equipment, if teammates help each other, are at most some slightly exciting episodes in the itinerary.
However, if you are alone and it is difficult to call for help or the rescue time is long, a small episode may eventually lead to a major accident.

Regardless of whether it stems from Xiaobai's ignorance and fearlessness, or the old donkey's overconfidence, before each departure, there will always be "I am frost-resistant, I don't need to bring down", "I can do it on gravel roads, I don't need to help in the middle and high"...... and other equipment cutting corners with customer service or team leaders on the "must-have list".
Customer service or team leader is hindered by the role of the service provider, and most of them will persuade you softly. But, whether you say it or not, they may have scolded you 800 times in their hearts - "Can you drop two taels of meat when you prepare your equipment?" "How experienced are you in the place where you go?" "What if the weather is extreme!"
Trust me, team leader, you definitely don't want any problems along the way more than you do. The harsher the environment, the more testing the equipment. The more responsible the team leader, the more demanding he will be.
What you need to bring, just do it, don't ask which day will be cloudy and sunny, the transient weather change in the mountains and wilderness is not up to people. Some of the experiences of the past are not talismans for the future. Inadequate security is just a fluke that cannot be replicated.

It is true that the organizers and teammates will provide some help during the team trip, but the key endorsement of personal safety is oneself.
With equipment, there is no guarantee of foolproof, and reasonable use for our own use is the ultimate meaning of equipment. This question seems a bit idiotic to say? Equipment, who doesn't know how to use it? Don't you say, not everyone really knows the following points of equipment use:
- Don't use a water bag at high altitudes! When the temperature is low, the water outlet is frozen, and you can't drink a mouthful of hot water.
- It is forbidden to use trekking poles to pull people! Trekking poles will wear out and break, and once they pull people, they will suddenly disconnect......
- During the hike, it is necessary to drink water and replenish electrolytes in a timely manner, and in small amounts and many times. Do you stop and coo?
- The three-tier rule of dressing has been said many times.
- How do you brake when slipping?
- How to rescue if you lose temperature?
Each of the above is a big topic to unfold. With the right equipment, conditions such as heat stroke and hypothermia could have been avoided. Get rid of the "giant baby" state, even if you join the business team, you can't be ignorant and completely rely on the team leader. Doing your homework before you set off is also a good way to avoid accidents.

More important than adaptation and physical fitness is reverence for nature.
Nature is never a playground based on people's wishes, it has its own set of rules, and we can only be the most perfect followers when entering it - don't take the initiative to tease wild animals and eat plants during the itinerary, avoid dangerous road sections, bad weather, and unknown areas that should be avoided, evaluate your physical fitness, and choose the route that suits you......
Yes, sometimes you can grit your teeth and walk with your will, but excessive physical exertion will definitely make you not have more energy and mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.
"One-third to the top, one-third downhill, one-third to prevent accidents", a simple and crude rule about the distribution of physical energy to share with you.
When you go out to play more, most of you will become less and less courageous - because you will understand the preciousness of life and know how to respect nature.

Every trip, story and accident, in fact, is not so far away.
It is true that the force of nature is irresistible, but the early equipment, experience and skill reserves should be fully controlled, effectively avoiding many potential risks and traveling safely.
It's better to go out and play.
After all, the so-called love is not just based on the explosive passion of a passionate heart, and the so-called bravery is not the recklessness of the "ignorant and fearless" type. Go on an adventure rather than an adventure, experience rather than punch in.
No matter where you go this May Day, I wish you a safe home!
