Eyewitnesses recounted the details of the time
Witnesses said that the incident happened on May 11, when the tent was not tightly covered, and the owner of the car climbed up to check, and there was a hole in the middle of the tent, so he stuck his head in to look at it, and his head was stuck in the crossbar.
After being stuck, the owner immediately asked his friend to press the remote control, but the remote control did not work.
Witnesses also said that the tent had two floors and could be lifted and lowered, and that four or five people could not break it when they went up, and the boards on the second floor could not be pushed up. In the end, the hand-sawed saw was sawed open, and the person was rescued, but there were no vital signs, and the tragedy happened.
On May 14, the manufacturer of the rooftop tent involved said: It has been connected with the lawyer of the deceased, and the current analysis is that the accident was caused by the party's failure to operate in accordance with the process of the manual, and we are cooperating with the notarization and finding out the truth of the incident.
The Great Wall officially responded, and the tent manufacturer also responded, and the owner operated improperly
On May 15, Great Wall officials and tent manufacturers responded:
Great Wall Pickup said: We will uphold the attitude of being responsible to users, are paying close attention to the progress of the investigation of this incident, and will fully assist the Akinochi brand to actively cooperate with relevant departments to carry out the investigation, and provide all necessary support to the family.
Akinochi said: As the developer of the tent, will actively cooperate with the investigation of all parties, after a preliminary understanding, the accident occurred in the process of the rise of the circuit tent, the user entered the tent accident, the owner may have improper operation.
Engineers draw in-depth analysis
The accident model was jointly created by the outdoor equipment brand Qiunodi and the Great Wall Pickup, that is, the "Shanhai Cannon + Fully Automatic Lifting Hard Top Car Tent", which was released for the first time at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show, but I didn't expect someone to have an accident because of the tent problem in 2024.
According to the engineer's drawing, the internal connecting rod is roughly depicted, and the black cross bar and the red crossbar are a linkage that opens at the same time when it is activated, and it is at this time that an accident occurs.
This picture shows that the owner of the car sticks his head up to check the lack of a roof cover. As a result, the entire device was still starting, and the red crossbar moved sideways, just enough to jam the owner's neck, which led to a tragedy.
The question here is, even if the owner does not operate properly, does the device set up sensors to achieve automatic start and stop during the start of the tent? The crossbar was obviously stuck to the person, and the tent did not stop and was still working, so the owner was stuck very firmly and it was difficult to rescue.
This is just a preliminary analysis by the engineers, but what is the reason? Further official investigation is pending.
Netizens are hotly discussing and arguing
Netizens said that this is the responsibility of the car owner, and he operated it improperly, which led to serious consequences. Another netizen objected, because of the casualties caused by the tent, the manufacturer of the tent must bear unshirkable responsibility. The two sides argued.
This incident has nothing to do with the Great Wall, this car was jointly built by the Great Wall Company and the tent manufacturer, and it is the tent that has a problem and needs to seek an explanation from the tent manufacturer.
Some netizens said that the owner of the car can still speak when he is stuck, indicating that it does not pose a danger to his life, and it may be something that happened after further operation. This requires a proper official investigation, and the truth will eventually be revealed.
Write to the end
This incident has finally led to a tragedy, people cannot be resurrected from death, and we need to reflect on the existing problems, whether it is improper operation or the problem of the tent itself?
It is hoped that the manufacturer can further check and eliminate all potential safety hazards, so as to give users a more complete experience. We will continue to monitor the development of the situation, what do you think?
