　　The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday is approaching. The State Administration for Market Regulation recently issued a document requesting localities to organize safety inspections of passenger ropeways and large-scale amusement facilities in scenic spots to ensure the safety of mass tourism and entertainment.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters investigated in Chongqing, Guizhou, Hunan and other places and found that the popular Internet celebrity amusement equipment such as cliff swings, glass bridges, and high-altitude bicycles have problems with safety supervision and lack of safety supervision. There are also some scenic spots related equipment operators who are unlicensed. , Which brings risks to the personal safety of tourists.

"Attracting Eyes" and "Attracting Gold" Net Red Amusement Project Welcomes "Dangerous" Expansion

　　On September 18, a staff member of Chongqing Dream Ordovician Scenic Spot crashed and died while shooting a promotional video on the Internet celebrity amusement equipment "High-altitude Speed ​​Skating" of the scenic spot. The scenic spot is undergoing the third safety accident investigation in the past three years.

　　In recent years, safety accidents have occurred from time to time in Internet celebrity amusement projects such as glass covered bridges and cliff swings.

Nevertheless, the reporter found that the number of such projects opened in various scenic spots is still growing rapidly.

In Chongqing alone, 8 districts and counties including Yunyang, Wulong, and Wansheng have built glass bridges, plank roads and other glass cantilever viewing platforms, and even have related facilities in some farmhouses and residential communities.

This trend has also occurred in Guizhou and Hunan, where there are more and more projects such as high-altitude bicycles and cliff swings in various scenic spots.

　　The person in charge of a scenic spot in Guizhou told reporters that in order to increase revenue, the scenic spot has introduced dozens of Internet celebrity amusement facilities such as rainbow slides and flying chairs in the past two years, and revenue has increased by 5 times.

　　Luo Zibo, chief expert of the Yangtze River Tourism Research Base of the China Tourism Research Institute, said that most Internet celebrity amusement projects are high-altitude, high-speed, and high-risk projects. They are sought after by young people due to thrills. The scenic spot attracts attention and attracts gold.

After one scenic spot succeeded, a number of scenic spots followed suit.

There are hidden dangers in technical standards, operating procedures, and regulatory measures

　　"Although the thrilling Internet celebrity amusement equipment can help to quickly increase the revenue of the scenic spot, the safety risks cannot be ignored." said Jin Xin, a member of the Hunan Provincial Political Consultative Conference and executive vice president of Zhangjiajie Tourism Group Co., Ltd.

　　The reporter's investigation found that some Internet celebrity amusement equipment was out of supervision.

According to relevant laws and regulations, the amusement facilities listed in the special equipment catalog shall be in accordance with the special equipment standards, and the market supervision department shall be responsible for safety supervision and management.

　　Chen Haiying, director of the Mechanical and Electrical Department of the Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, said that at present, some new amusement facilities such as glass bridges, glass water slides, cliff swings have not been included in the special equipment catalog, and are not within the scope of safety supervision of large amusement facilities.

　　The staff of the regulatory authorities in many places said that the current supervision of large amusement facilities that are included in the supervision of special equipment is generally strong, but the supervision of facilities outside the catalog is relatively weak, and it is difficult to implement the main responsibility of safety.

　　Operators of tourism companies in many places said that due to the unclear powers of safety supervision, some amusement projects can only "operate first before talking".

　　There are also some amusement equipment design and production companies that deliberately set product-related indicators slightly lower than the standards of the special equipment catalog to avoid supervision.

　　According to regulations, large-scale passenger amusement facilities with a designed maximum operating speed greater than or equal to 2 m/s or operating altitudes greater than or equal to 2 meters from the ground should apply for a special equipment license for amusement facilities that carry passengers for business purposes.

The reporter saw in the amusement product catalog provided by an amusement equipment manufacturing company in Henan that the lifting range of the rotating flying chair was 1.9 meters, the lifting range of the barrel plane was 1.9 meters, and the speed of the tackle was 1.96 meters per second, all just below the requirements. The "threshold" for permits.

　　The company’s business manager said that if special equipment licenses are issued, the equipment must be inspected regularly, and the license holders must be staffed. The equipment has mandatory scrapping requirements, which greatly increases operating costs.

This kind of effect is almost the same as that of special equipment but does not need to apply for a license. The "edge ball" equipment is very popular in the market.

　　According to information from the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, illegal operations, improper operations, or even unlicensed operations by operators are major hidden dangers to the safety of amusement equipment and facilities in scenic spots.

　　The reporter learned that operators of large-scale amusement facilities are required to hold "Special Equipment Operator Certificates" to work in accordance with the law. However, in order to save costs in some scenic spots, personnel training and management are not in place.

　　“The seat belt is fastened and the rope is fastened. It can be mastered after a few trainings. There is no need to hire professionals to increase the cost.” The person in charge of a scenic spot in Guizhou said that during peak tourist periods such as holidays, the scenic spot often recruits temporary workers in nearby villages. After a brief training, he will be on duty to be responsible for tourist safety inspection.

　　A supervisor from the supervisory department revealed: "During the safety inspection, some operators and maintenance personnel asked three questions about the equipment. Some risky Internet celebrity projects could not even find a certified operator."

　　In addition, the reporter also found in the investigation that some small and medium-sized manufacturing companies cut the quality inspection department staff in order to reduce prices to seize the market, resulting in uncontrollable product safety risks; some small scenic spots did not replace equipment safety devices or important vulnerable parts in time .

Effectively strengthen the supervision problem to be solved

　　Experts said that it is urgent to strengthen supervision and improve supervision efficiency to fill related security loopholes, but current problems still need to be faced.

　　——Weak penalties, affecting the effectiveness of supervision.

In recent years, Chongqing Dream Ordovician Scenic Spot has been punished many times for violating relevant safety production regulations, but it has not completely solved the hidden dangers of the scenic spot.

　　Industry insiders said that because the relevant punishment "pain" is far less than the benefits brought by the illegal operation of the scenic spot, the supervision effect is discounted.

　　The reporter also discovered that some local supervisory departments have "managed with fines" and "delivered lightly."

　　-Equipment standards are disordered, increasing the difficulty of supervision.

The reporter learned from interviews that many of the Internet celebrity amusement facilities currently used in many scenic spots are "non-standard products" without corresponding national standards.

At present, for these products, the regulatory authorities often refer to similar product standards and conduct safety inspection management by means of third-party inspection agencies.

　　Liang Junxin, deputy director of the Lifting Amusement Facilities Inspection Department of Hunan Special Equipment Inspection and Testing Institute, believes that "non-standard equipment" is of low standard, and the current inspection methods have increased the difficulty of supervision.

　　——The emergency drill is blurred and the rescue effect is weakened.

On the morning of the accident in Chongqing Dream Ordovician scenic spot, the scenic spot had just held the "2020 Chongqing Emergency Rescue Drill for Large Amusement Facilities". The exercise included simulated rescue of two tourists trapped in the sky.

　　Liang Junxin reminded that emergency rescue drills in scenic spots should be guarded against turning into "movements."

In reality, emergency rescue plans for different equipment are different, but some scenic spots have not formulated special emergency plans for specific equipment, which makes it difficult to effectively rescue in emergencies.

　　In response to the current weakening of supervision caused by equipment technical standards, Rozbo and Liang Junxin suggested that relevant standards be introduced as soon as possible within the industry or at the national level.

The reporter learned that the national standard "floating floor, step, trail and plank road glass" will be implemented in April next year.

Chen Haiying said that currently some Internet celebrity travel experience projects that are not included in the special equipment catalog are managed in accordance with the relevant regulations of the State Council’s Work Safety Committee and the safety standards of small amusement facilities.

　　The General Administration of Market Supervision requires that local market supervision departments urge the use of passenger ropeways and large-scale amusement facilities in scenic spots in their jurisdictions to implement the main responsibility for safety. In view of the high passenger flow and high frequency of equipment use during the Mid-Autumn National Day holiday, the passenger ropeways and large-scale amusement facilities Facilities are fully inspected and maintained to effectively eliminate potential safety hazards.

It is necessary to organize targeted supervision and inspections before and during the festival, and promptly deal with the problems found in on-site inspections in accordance with the law. If the equipment is found to have major safety hazards or does not meet the operating conditions, it will be ordered to stop use, and the passenger ropeway and large Special equipment such as amusement facilities operate safely.
