CCTV News: In the scorching summer heat, swimming and tracing the river have become the choice for many people, especially students, to go out and play together, especially the Internet celebrity strategies of some social platforms, and some so-called "niche treasures" of "wild attractions" have been sought after by young people. Outdoor rescue professionals say there are a number of safety hazards in these places.
On some social platforms, this scenic spot in the north of Guangzhou has been described as a "paradise" and "a secret place in Guangdong", which looks very attractive, and "free" is a major attraction. The reporter and the coach of the Guangzhou Blue Sky Rescue Association went to this hiking river route to understand and find that the first half of the road of this "wild scenic spot" is mostly mud roads and gravel roads, with lush vegetation and trees, and there are usually staff members in and out, while the second half is a wild road, which has to go through the stream gravel road to reach the Internet celebrity "scenic spot", and the depth of the stream is not above the ankle. At the entrance to this section of the road, there is a very eye-catching yellow sign that reads, "The cave is closed, entry is strictly prohibited." However, in the strategies posted by many netizens, this information was hidden, and the possible risks and hidden dangers were also avoided. In addition, the reporter noticed that there was no mobile phone signal on this route, and if an accident occurred, it was difficult to use the phone to get in touch with the outside world. Along the way, the reporter also met citizens who came here to play.
Citizens of Guangzhou, Guangdong: "Try the wilderness, hike in and have a look." ”
Reporter: "What do you say on the Internet?" What are you looking for? ”
Citizens of Guangzhou, Guangdong: "Where there are waterfalls." ”
Liang Yongjian, coach of the Guangzhou Blue Sky Rescue Association, said: "The place where we walk is a stream, I don't know if there will be big water upstream, so we must pay attention to the weather conditions." Now that the weather is hotter, some snakes prefer to stay in a damp and shady place to escape the heat. ”
Located in Baiyun District, there is a blue-green pond in Liupian Mountain, which is known as "Guangzhou's Blue Tears" on social platforms, and some netizens have posted content that has turned it into a "natural water park". However, the reporter saw at the scene that there was a fence built around the pond, and many reminders were posted to "prohibit climbing over the water", and the sound of the horn was also sounding in a loop in the mountains, but there were still wild swimmers climbing over the fence and entering the water.
Wild swimmer: "We've been swimming for more than ten years, the deepest is more than 20 meters, and there was an accident some time ago. ”
Reporter: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Swimmer: "I don't see you. ”
During the summer vacation, the popularity of outdoor travel continues to rise, but the "safety awareness" cannot be relaxed. At present, a number of social platforms have launched functions such as risk location reminders and reports.
