On the afternoon of July 20th, Anhui Huangshan Fengda International Tourism Company provided a model airplane of "Deep Sea Treasure" for tourists to play. During the course of everyone's play, the top of the amusement facilities suddenly sank, and five people were crushed under it at the same time. An 8-year-old girl accidentally fell into the depression of the model and died after being rescued.
When the girl got stuck, her mother screamed for help from people around the scene. Someone was helping on the way to save people, but in the end, she failed to save the girl from bad luck.
(This is the comparison before and after the inflatable castle accident. The octopus above is still above, and the octopus below has fallen below. )
Every time I see such an accident, it hurts. A girl in the mood for love has left. Every child, in the days of growing up, needs the careful care of his parents to grow up healthily.
This incident once again sounded the alarm for countless parents!
The danger of inflatable castles should be known earlier:
squeeze
Two netizens saw this and talked about their childhood experiences:
"When I was a child, I played an inflatable trampoline and got stuck in the cracks. Both sides are swollen, squeezing me like two walls. I screamed with fear. An uncle pulled me out, and now it's quite scary to think about it. "
"When I saw the news, I immediately felt suffocated. I played once when I was a child and got stuck. I thought I was going to die and I couldn't breathe. I don't remember how I got out later. Now I think the queen mother is afraid. "
water channel
A netizen left a message saying:
"I also met when I was a child. At that time, the castle was flat, so I got stuck. You are surrounded by plastic film. These films are thick and hard. In addition, the bigger the castle, the higher it is from the ground. When it is flat, the depth of the sink is deep. The child's arm strength is not enough to pull the plastic film open. In addition, the wrapped oxygen was gone, and he soon choked. Fortunately, a big brother stepped on my face, and I instinctively grabbed his foot and was thrown out.
Another netizen also told his own experience:
"When I was a child, I used to play with inflatable castles. In the process of climbing, several children suddenly came back. Then, due to the weight, I was trapped in an inflatable castle. I just don't think I can stand up. I'm wrapped in a plastic bag and I'm getting breathless. I think I'm going to die in there. It's best to have a little friend pull the play up, and since then, the play has never been played like this again.
Injury caused by trampling
According to news reports, a 9-year-old boy in Changsha, Hunan Province was trampled while playing with an inflatable castle, causing serious spinal cord injuries.
The boy said afterwards, "An elder sister who went to junior high school, she was above, I was below, and the elder sister jumped directly on my neck."
Finally, the boy can only lie in the hospital every day, and the doctor has issued several critical notices.
Be blown down by the wind
/kloc-in June of 0/5, a 3-year-old girl was playing on a trampoline in a children's inflatable castle in front of a large supermarket in Tianyang County, and the trampoline was blown into the air by strong winds.
As can be seen from the video taken by netizens, the trampoline suddenly swings with the wind, and the amplitude is getting bigger and bigger. In a few seconds, it was blown away.
At that time, even though the little girl's parents were nearby, trying to catch her, the trampoline was blown away by the wind too fast to catch. After that, the little girl was thrown heavily and died after being rescued.
Coincidentally, in Yangpu District, Shanghai, a gust of wind overturned the inflatable castle, and 13 children "freely fell" in the air, and then they were taken to the hospital.
explosion
According to the Daily Mail, in July 18, an inflatable trampoline in a small playground in Gelston Beach, England exploded due to rising temperature, resulting in the death of a girl under 4 years old.
Witnesses said: "People can't believe what they saw. A girl less than 4 years old was directly bounced to a height of 6 meters due to the explosion of the trampoline, and then fell straight to the ground. " After that, the girl was taken to the hospital and died unfortunately.
In addition to these five items, such as the sudden death of the inflatable castle, or hygiene, are all issues that need attention.
"Curious Lab" did an experiment on whether strong wind can overturn the inflatable castle and how strong the wind is to blow it down.
BACKGROUND: Experiments were carried out on the spot to prepare an inflatable castle, with a length of 10m, a width of 5m and a total area of 50m, which can accommodate at least10 children to play together at the same time. On-site personnel estimate that the inflatable castle weighs about 500 Jin and needs four people to work together to move it.
Then a range hood was prepared to blow at the inflatable castle.
The results show that:
Test 1: Blow from the front of the inflatable castle.
When the wind force is 2 ~ 3, the inflatable castle is stable;
When the wind reaches level 4, the inflatable castle begins to swing around, but it is still relatively stable;
When the wind reaches level 7, the inflatable castle feels blown away anytime and anywhere;
The inflatable castle was blown away when the wind reached level 8.
Test 2: Side Blowing
When the wind reaches level 8, the inflatable castle is blown down directly.
From this experiment, give us some reminders:
1. The inflatable castle is 5 meters wide. Once lifted by the wind, people fall from a place 5 meters high and fall directly to the ground.
The surface of the inflatable castle is so slippery that you can't catch anything at all. When something is about to fall, it is impossible to catch it.
If the wind blows hard, the child is likely to be thrown out directly.
When the inflatable castle is overturned, children are easily crushed under it. Imagine that it is not easy to move a thing weighing several hundred kilograms.
4. The range hood used only in the experiment, if it is real wind, the airflow is chaotic, which is more destructive and dangerous.
Usually, the inflatable castles we see are relatively simple to fix or relatively large in size, so they are not directly fixed, so their stability and compression resistance will be poor. Once the wind blows, they will be easily blown away and overturned.
18 18 In February, the state issued the Safety Specification for Inflatable Amusement Facilities, which is for reference only, not mandatory, and not too binding on manufacturers.
The quality of inflatable castles is naturally not strictly controlled, which seriously threatens the safety of children. If some manufacturers cut corners or make low-quality products, the consequences will be unimaginable.
On the issue of children's safety, we can't be careless, and we can't care too much. For children, we can't rule out all the dangers, but we can try our best to find out the foreseeable and visible dangers for them and create a safe environment before they play.
In this way, children can experience less danger and be more happy.
In the face of lovely and colorful inflatable castles, it is reasonable for children to like them. However, due to the blind spot of quality supervision, children can only be protected by more precautions.
I hope every child can grow up in a healthy environment and have a happy and safe childhood!
