Xinhua News Agency, Chongli, Hebei, January 5-Miyuan Yunding Ski Resort ("Yunding Ski Resort") in Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province reported a skier's death on the 5th. Local police and relevant departments have been involved in the investigation.
A report on the ski resort’s official WeChat account stated that on the morning of January 4, a male skier fell 100 meters from the ski resort’s No. 6 cableway and was injured. At 12:5 on the 4th, the injured was sent to the Chongli District of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical College for rescue, but he died in the end.
On the 4th, a number of accident photos taken by ski enthusiasts on site were circulated on social media.
The photos showed that there were obvious bare wires on the snowy road where the accident occurred.
Another ski enthusiast said that in 2018, he tripped over an electric wire and was injured at the Genting Ski Resort.
The above information caused ski enthusiasts to question the safety of Genting Ski Resort.
The information bulletin issued by the ski resort stated: "Skiing is a high-risk sport, please be careful of your safety."
However, this wording once again triggered public opinion on social media on the 5th. Many ski enthusiasts believe that as a professional ski resort operator, the term "high-risk sports" hinders the popularization of skiing, and they should reflect on whether their own safety measures are in place. .
Information from multiple ski communities shows that the dead man was a high-level skier.
The ski trails involved are marked as "underground roads" on the map of the ski resort, that is, advanced roads.
At present, Genting Ski Resort has not formally responded to the above question.
The local public security department said it was investigating the cause of the accident.
