Preface
Driven by the demand of car owners who like the new and hate the old, the automotive aftermarket modification industry is booming. But who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary tent modification would turn into a thrilling tragedy. Recently, a Great Wall gun owner was unfortunately stuck in the neck of a modified electric tent while traveling by car, and his life was in danger.
Subsequently, Great Wall Motors and tuner Akinochi successively issued statements to restore the beginning and end of the incident. This tragic incident shocked the entire automobile circle, and also triggered the public's attention and deep thinking about the safety of vehicle modification.
The reappearance of the tragic scene shocked the hearts of the people in society
According to the accident, the owner of the Great Wall cannon went out for a self-drive with three or two friends only half a month after buying the car. While driving, he tried to operate the newly installed electric tent on top of the car.
Who would have thought that when the tent was halfway up, the owner of the car would be stuck in the neck and unable to get out. The companion noticed the anomaly and used the key to control the tent descent, but all efforts were to no avail. In the end, the middle-aged man unfortunately died of suffocation.
A beautiful road trip turned into a tragedy due to an accidental modification, which is very regrettable. After the incident spread on the Internet, it quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens, and various speculations and questions arose.
The official statement clarifies that it points to the modification process
In an effort to quell the public outcry and dispel public doubts, Great Wall Motor and Akinochi Supplier subsequently issued official statements.
Great Wall Motor made it clear that the tragedy did not stem from the defects or safety hazards of the vehicle itself, but from problems in the later modification process of the electric tent.
The electric tent supplier Akinochi said that the user was accidentally trapped when he entered the tent during operation.
These two official statements preliminarily restored the cause of the accident and pointed the finger at the potential safety hazards in the later vehicle modification process and use and operation links. However, the public is not fully convinced, and there are still many doubts and follow-ups.
Questioning Whose Fault Is Surrounded by Public Calls for Stricter Regulation
In response to this accident, the public has paid attention to and raised several key questions:
First of all, where are the tents installed? If it is operated by a 4S shop, its responsibility is self-evident, but if the owner finds a channel to modify it privately, negligence is inevitable.
Secondly, Why can't electric tents stop rising automatically? Why can't the remote key fob rescue the trapped person? This raises questions about the quality and design of the modified products.
Furthermore, did the owner himself read the instructions carefully and strictly follow the process? Blind use can also lead to tragedy.
A series of questions surround it, reflecting that there are still many potential safety hazards and regulatory deficiencies in the automobile modification industry. The public has called on the relevant government departments to be strict and serious, increase the rectification of the car modification market, and resolutely curb the recurrence of such tragedies.
epilogue
While pursuing personalized modification needs, we need to pay more attention to life safety and maintain traffic operation order. Only when the government, enterprises and consumers work together, upgrade hardware and software simultaneously, and build a benign and interactive market ecology, can consumers find the perfect balance between personalized customization and travel safety and avoid a repeat of the tragedy.
