The event passed
On the morning of May 11, Mr. Li from Chengdu decided to drive the Great Wall Cannon he had just picked up to the countryside for a weekend camping. The vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art electric rooftop tent that can be raised and lowered by remote control and is designed to provide convenience and comfort for outdoor activities. Unfortunately, this feature is about to become the fuse of a tragedy.
According to post-mortem investigations and eyewitness accounts, the accident occurred at about 10 a.m. After Mr. Li parked the car, he decided to unfold the rooftop tent to check the status of the tent and prepare for the subsequent camping activities.
He followed the instructions of the operator's manual and began to raise the tent with the remote control. Unexpectedly, the tent suddenly stopped functioning and seemed to be stuck somewhere.
Mr. Li tried the remote control several times, but the tent still did not work. So, he decided to inspect the mechanical part of the tent himself to see if he could find the problem and fix it. He stood next to the car with his head close to the bottom of the tent, trying to peek into the inner workings of the tent from the side of the car. At this moment, the tent suddenly descended rapidly without warning, instantly sandwiching his neck between the vehicle and the tent.
After the accident, people nearby reacted quickly and tried to manually lift the tent to rescue Mr. Li. A passing paramedic also tried to give first aid, but Mr. Li did not survive because the tent pressed his neck too long.
Follow-up processing
After receiving the news, the sales representative of Great Wall Motor responded quickly, contacted the families of the victims, and promised to fully cooperate with the investigation and follow-up treatment. The manufacturer of the rooftop tent said in a statement that a preliminary investigation showed that the accident may have been caused by improper operation by the owner. Currently, they are consulting with the family's lawyer and are preparing a detailed investigation and notarization of the accident.

This tent should have been installed by the owner himself after picking up the car, right?
