Can acrobats fall from high altitude "call" industry safety standards
On August 1, a 28-year-old actor who traveled from Henan to Hohhot, Inner Mongolia to perform acrobatics fell from an 8-meter-high prop. He suffered head injuries and fell into a deep coma. The injured acrobat died on August 9.
According to the audience, the acrobat did not wear a safety lock and the performance continued after the accident. At present, the circus has been suspended due to illegal performances.
The family members of the acrobats who died said that there were no safety measures during the acrobatics.
The person in charge of the circus responded that although the circus is operated by him alone, each performance project is contracted to cooperate with the performers; the installation of the props for the performance is under the responsibility of the performer, and the floor of the performance involved should be equipped with safety mats, but Somehow it was not covered that day.
Although high-altitude acrobatics are good-looking, they are often accompanied by risks during practice and performance. Acrobat Jin Jinxin has a deep understanding of this.
Before entering the Anhui Acrobatic Troupe, Jin Jinxin spent two years in the Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe. Although it has been many years, he still remembers his experience of practicing "Flying Man" in Guangzhou. He often fell from the center of the stage during training. It is normal for actors to fall from the center of the stage when they fall into the protective net below.
"Although there are protective nets to protect your life, the nets are very hard and thicker than the fishing nets. It hurts when the skin rubs against the nets." Jin Jinxin said, it is difficult to say that there are no mistakes when performing acrobatics. Sometimes acrobatics cannot be said to be 100% successful. (A performance) has to fall several times.
As a high-difficulty and high-risk performance project, is it normal for acrobatic performances without safety measures? How to ensure the safety of acrobats?
According to industry insiders, China's professional troupes attach importance to the protection of actors, and similar accidents are rare. When performing high-altitude performances, actors generally require protection by tying safety ropes or setting up safety nets on the ground. There is a lingo called three feet off the ground is a god, as long as you leave the ground, you can tie everything to you Tied up. When watching the performance, the audience saw that the actors did not wear safety ropes, but they must have taken protective measures on the ground, such as isolating safety nets. This is a rigid requirement, or simply a rule.
The industry insiders suggested that because the industry has not formed a national or provincial-level unified safety standard system, on the one hand, standards should be introduced to facilitate safety supervision, and on the other hand, private acrobatics groups should be regulated.
Zhuang Ruibiao, a lawyer from Beijing Yingke (Hohhot) Law Firm, believes that for some current acrobatics, especially high-altitude performances, safety and safety protection measures must be strictly supervised. The grass-stage team-style temporary combined acrobatics troupe is safe and free. Sex can be imagined. Because danger can happen at any time, once it happens, it is very difficult to deal with it again.
