Being struck by lightning is an accident, but it is also reasonable.
Being struck by lightning in nature is a natural phenomenon. Not only people are vulnerable to lightning, but also any animals, plants or other objects, including trees, buildings and rocks, may be struck by lightning. It is not uncommon for tourists to be struck by lightning at home and abroad. Even on the football field, players have been struck by lightning.
Laojunshan's unique geological structure, unique peaks and numerous Taoist temples are easy to attract lightning. However, its Jinding Taoist Temple should be equipped with lightning protection facilities. As a tourist, the probability of being struck by lightning is actually very small. Unfortunately, it happened after all, but it still belongs to the category of accidents, which are accidents caused by force majeure factors.
In case of force majeure, neither party is responsible for the accident.
The tourist Ren Moumou has died, and the accident of Ren Moumou being struck by lightning in the scenic spot is unpredictable, even if it is foreseen, it cannot be stopped in time and effectively. It was an accident and no one was responsible. The state does not provide compulsory insurance for tickets to tourist attractions. Some scenic spots will attach accident insurance to special tourism projects when selling tickets, but most scenic spots do not include insurance.
Travel agencies will also have insurance clauses when signing travel contracts, but they are generally liability insurance. For travel agencies without fault liability, travel agencies generally do not buy accident insurance. Under normal circumstances, if you don't buy accident insurance separately when selling tickets in Laojun Mountain Scenic Area, Ren Moumou won't enjoy the compensation from the insurance company.
Unfortunately, the tourists who climbed the mountain were killed by lightning, which undoubtedly exposed the loopholes and shortcomings in the management of scenic spots.
1. Scenic spots should take this as a lesson and comprehensively strengthen the systematic management of tourists in thunderstorm weather. Like Huangshan and other scenic spots, it is necessary to closely track severe and dangerous weather such as thunderstorms for 24 hours and timely issue danger warnings for disaster weather; The personal safety of mountaineering tourists is more important than Mount Tai, and the scenic spot should close the ticket passage and cable car line in advance; At the same time, increase the intensity of broadcasting, actively organize passengers stranded in the mountains to quickly go down the mountain, or go to safety to avoid bad weather such as thunderstorms.
2. Laojun Mountain Scenic Area should learn a profound lesson from the incident and improve the lightning protection facilities and lightning protection places of all scenic spots on the mountain as soon as possible, so that tourists can quickly enter reliable lightning protection places when encountering thunderstorms and other accidents.
3. It is necessary to increase the safety education of lightning protection and storm prevention for mountaineers. For example, when there is a thunderstorm in mountainous areas, you should avoid using mobile phones and wear conductive objects such as metal watches. Avoid using umbrellas with metal handles; Get down as soon as possible or enter caves, crevices and other places for lightning protection; Don't stand under towering objects (such as trees) when climbing mountains, because you are most vulnerable to lightning strikes.
About the responsibility of tourists themselves.
First, as a married adult and the father of two children, Ren Mou, a tourist from Luoyang, will definitely not risk being struck by lightning (such as climbing trees and standing on the top of the mountain in the rain) to make jokes about his life and the safety of his family. From the moment when Luoyang tourist Ren was killed by lightning and his wife was slightly injured by lightning, lightning strikes were more inclined to accidents than man-made.
Secondly, it is reasonable to speculate that lightning strikes are sometimes inevitable in mountainous scenic spots like Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan because of special geographical and climatic conditions and shortcomings in scenic spot management, and it is not an isolated case in all parts of the country.
Therefore, since there has been a tourist tragedy in the scenic spot, the managers of the scenic spot should earnestly shoulder their responsibilities, check for leaks and fill gaps, and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, instead of shirking their responsibilities and wasting their energy on sharing responsibilities, don't you think?
