Why are there still hidden dangers in ski resorts and safety slogans are in vain?

Recently, two skiing accidents occurred in Chongli, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, causing concern. Let the outside world question the safety of ski resorts.

On January 29th and 30th, reporters from the Beijing News visited Beijing’s Jundushan Ski Resort, Longxi Ski Resort and Xuedu Ski Resort and found that some ski resorts were in medical, rescue and management There are certain loopholes in all aspects, and some skiing behaviors of tourists also bring certain safety risks to themselves and others.

On the afternoon of January 29, hundreds of tourists were already visiting the Jundushan Ski Resort in Changping District. Skiers without helmets can be seen everywhere in the ski resort. The reporter then found during an inventory at Daxing Longxi Ski Resort that only 30 of the 100 skiers were wearing helmets, and at Xuedu Ski Resort, there were even fewer skiers wearing helmets.

A skier at Longxi Ski Resort who was not wearing a helmet told reporters that the slope of the snow path here is not particularly steep and he has some skiing experience, so he did not wear a helmet. A skier at Xuedu Ski Resort said that the pass he purchased did not include a helmet, so he did not spend extra money to rent it. The reporter later learned at the ticket purchase offices of the two ski resorts that the passes sold by the ski resort only included ski equipment, snowshoes and other items, and did not include helmets.

A staff member of Longxi Ski Resort told reporters that the ski resort does not have advanced ski trails, but only beginner and intermediate ski trails. “Therefore, the ski resort does not require tourists to wear helmets. ”

In November 2016, the Beijing local standard "Safe Operation and Management Standards for Sports Venues - Ski Resorts" drafted by the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau and the Sports Science Institute of the State Sports General Administration was completed and submitted to the public. Public comments are sought online. It is proposed in the new "Norms" that a management system for skiers wearing helmets should be established, requiring skiers to wear helmets before entering ski areas.

However, during the visit, the reporter found that the basic safety guarantee of wearing a helmet when skiing does not seem to have attracted due attention. In addition to skiers' lack of safety awareness, the reporter did not see any relevant staff at a ski resort dissuading skiers without helmets.

During the visit, reporters from the Beijing News found that safety slogans at the above three ski resorts can be seen everywhere, such as "Those without snowshoes are not allowed to enter the sliding area" and "It is prohibited to stay in the middle of the snow track to avoid collisions. ", "Please choose a ski trail that is suitable for your skiing level. "But in fact, even if skiers violate the rules of the ski resort, no staff will come to dissuade or regulate them.

At the Jundu Mountain Ski Resort, a woman in pink clothes fell while skiing. She stopped in the middle of the ski trail and did not leave the trail immediately. Instead, she picked up her phone and took a selfie. The whole process lasted more than 3 minutes. . At Xuedu Ski Resort, uncivilized skiing behaviors such as going backwards on the ski slopes and skiing sideways from left to right can be seen everywhere, but the reporter never found any staff stepping forward to dissuade them. Dashan, a senior ski enthusiast, said that a few days ago, a skier was injured while sitting in the middle of the snow track to rest on the intermediate track of a ski resort.

According to the "China Ski Sports Safety Code" promulgated by the China Ski Association, ski resorts have the responsibility to maintain skiing order. For skiers who interfere with other people's behavior and still do not correct it after being reminded and advised, they should be asked to leave the ski resort immediately or call the police.

The reporter saw on the notice board at the entrance of Xuedu Ski Resort that people over 60 years old without insurance are not allowed to enter, and those without snowshoes are not allowed to enter the ski area. But in fact, these regulations are in vain. Some tourists do not comply with these regulations. There are many casual tourists without snowshoes in the ski resort. The ski resort staff did not manage this.

Under normal circumstances, ski resorts will divide ski trails into different levels according to the level of skiers. However, during the visit, the reporter found that some ski resorts have hidden dangers in snow trail management.

There are two ski trails in Longxi Ski Resort***, which are divided into beginner and intermediate ski trails according to the slope and difficulty of sliding. For beginners, it is generally only suitable for skiing on primary ski trails. Although there is a radio broadcast in the ski resort saying, "Choose the corresponding ski slope according to your own skiing level."

But in fact, even if beginners go to intermediate ski trails, no staff will ask or stop them. A senior ski enthusiast said that at present, he has not heard of any ski resorts that will review the qualifications of skiers and force them to use ski trails that are consistent with their abilities. However, Xuedu Ski Resort does not have clear signs to distinguish the levels of ski trails.

According to the content of the previously mentioned Beijing local standard "Safe Operation and Management Specifications for Sports Venues - Ski Resorts", ski resorts conduct hierarchical management of ski trails and restrict beginners from entering advanced ski trails. However, a senior ski enthusiast said that currently, he has not heard of any ski resorts that will review the qualifications of skiers and force them to use ski trails that are consistent with their abilities. "It's different from swimming. You need a deep-water certificate to go into deep water. There is no such rule for skiing. It's all up to you."

Another skier said that beginners should try to avoid going to intermediate and advanced ski trails. "Beginners often fall down when they slide down from it. It is especially easy to block the people behind or knock down the people in front." He believes that beginners going to advanced ski trails will bring consequences to themselves and other skiers. safety hazard.

During the reporter’s visit to the Jundushan Ski Resort, a skier was sent to the ski resort infirmary because he was stabbed in the ribs by a ski pole. He told reporters that when he tried to call the rescue phone, he found that There are no emergency signs nearby.

The reporter's inquiry found that according to Article 23 of the "Beijing Ski Resort Safety Management Specifications" (Trial) issued by the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, ski resorts should have dedicated direct dial telephones and cover all ski trails. broadcasting facilities.

The reporter then accompanied the injured to the infirmary of the ski resort. The infirmary has only one medical staff, one bed and a medicine cabinet, and the medical equipment is relatively simple. During the conversation, medical staff also confirmed to reporters that there was no rescue call at the ski resort.

During the consultation, the staff at the ski resort medical office asked the injured person about the specific location of the pain, and after applying pressure with his hands, he said, “There are bruises on the ribs, and the feeling of nausea may be because the cervical spine was shocked. "The medical staff then advised the injured to lie flat on the hospital bed to see if the pain was relieved.

"It is necessary to go to the hospital to take a X-ray to see if there are any injuries to the ribs and intercostal spaces, as well as whether there are any internal injuries in the abdominal cavity and chest cavity." The medical staff said, but the medical office cannot provide relevant examinations. I have to go to the hospital for a checkup. But when asked about the ski resort there were no ambulance vehicles. According to the relevant provisions of the above-mentioned "Beijing Ski Resort Safety Management Code", ski resorts should be equipped with medical emergency rooms and ambulance transportation equipment. Although Jundushan Ski Resort has an emergency room, it does not have ambulances or other rescue and transportation equipment.

"Navigation, Baidu, and Wendu Niang, I'm not familiar with these either." The medical staff replied. After repeated inquiries by reporters, medical staff said that they could take a taxi from the door to Changping District Hospital, which takes about 20 minutes.
