On September 5, 27-year-old social platform online fitness blogger Liu Can drowned in Nanchuan District, Chongqing.
According to Jimu News, the place of his drowning is an undeveloped attraction. On the 9th, the reporter learned from local officials that the place of the incident had been sealed off and tourists were not allowed to enter. In recent years, there have been incidents of "travelers" in distress in outdoor "wild spots" in many places, resulting in many casualties and causing social concern. A number of cases have shown that the natural environment of "wild spots" is complex and harsh, and there is a lack of safety management facilities, which can lead to multiple risks. Recently, the account of Liu Can, a fitness blogger with more than 100,000 followers on social platforms, suddenly posted as a relative that Liu Can unfortunately drowned on September 5. On September 8, the reporter confirmed from Liu Can's relatives and friends that Liu Can had passed away.
On September 6, Liu Can's social media account posted, "We are very sorry to tell you that Liu Can (my nephew) passed away on September 5, 2024, at the age of 27. The post was sent in the capacity of a relative of Liu Can's elders.
On the morning of the 9th, the reporter learned from an insider that Liu Can drowned in the undeveloped scenic spot "First Line Sky Canyon" in Qianxing Village, Toudu Town, Nanchuan District. According to reports, the "first-line sky canyon" located in Qianxing Village is about 150 kilometers away from the main urban area of Chongqing. The owner of a homestay in Xingcun told reporters that the natural landscape in the village is very beautiful. If you are visiting the village, playing in the shallow water downstream, camping, it is very comfortable. However, it is recommended not to play river tracing or canyoning, especially to the upstream "first-line sky canyon", where the cliff is steep and the pool is very deep, which is very dangerous. Mr. Wang, a villager from Qianxing Village, said that if you want to go canyoning, you must bring your equipment with a professional outdoor team to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It is far from the first casualty accident in a "wild scenic spot" where a "traveler" is in distress and many casualties. In June this year, two travelers lost contact with each other in a wild stream in Shiren Gorge, Yutou Township, Huangyan District, Taizhou, Zhejiang. The natural environment of the search and rescue area is complex, the terrain is steep, and the water flow is turbulent, which brings great difficulties to the rescue work. After all-out search and rescue, the two missing travelers were finally found, but there were no vital signs. In April this year, a traveler went to Guide Gou, Helan Mountain, Ningxia to climb the mountain after searching for tips on the Internet. After entering the mountain, I found that the slope was steep, and the route and map were somewhat deviated, and I accidentally injured my knee and had difficulty moving, and I was trapped between the Guide ditch and the leek ditch in Helan Mountain. After more than 4 hours of searching, the rescuers arrived at the location of the trapped people, and after simple treatment and bandaging, they were rescued and lowered down the mountain. According to the "2023 China Outdoor Adventure Accident Report", according to incomplete statistics, there will be 425 outdoor adventure accidents in 2023, involving 1,350 people, 320 injured, and 182 dead and missing. Case by case and data show that there are multiple risks in "wild travel". The "wild" of "wild travel" has dangers that you can't predict, experts say that the danger factor is extremely high when going to unmanaged attractions in the wild. Traveling in the mountains is not only likely to be disoriented, bitten or stung by insects, and suddenly feel unwell, but also may encounter rockfalls or avalanches, falls and bleeding, attacks by wild animals such as snakes, and may even encounter lightning strikes during heavy rains in summer. Swimming in open water in the wild is even more dangerous, and some seemingly calm waters may have undercurrents, waterfalls, deep pools, and aquatic plants, and it is dangerous to swim blindly. In addition, because it is a "wild attraction", it will be called a "secret place in the world", attracting more ordinary people or new travelers who are not rich enough to survive in the wild. The warnings of these cases are multi-faceted, and how to prevent more people from putting themselves in danger is the direction of reflection on the root cause. In the face of wild Internet celebrity attractions, we must be in awe of nature and life!
