　　This Shengjing company is indeed a small company with little experience in running events. According to online reports, it has 22 employees, but in fact it has only 12 employees.

　　One is that it failed to review the company’s associations. The second bidding procedure and form are also illegal and illegal.

　　The 21 people who died were concentrated between CP2 and CP3. This 9.5-kilometer track has the fastest elevation, the highest intensity and the most difficult stage, and it is very steep.

　　So after 12:17 the event organizing committee received the information from the masses, the event operating agency and the Yellow River Scenic Area Management Committee have already begun to organize rescues.

However, due to insufficient preparation of rescue forces in advance, only 39 rescuers from the Blue Sky Rescue Team were present at the scene. They are both rescuers and security forces. Therefore, the strength is scattered over dozens of kilometers of roads, and the strength is seriously insufficient, so Subsequently, the villagers in Jingtai County and the neighboring villages organized to carry out the rescue, so it is said that this stage is because of the poor communication, the difficulty of the track itself, and the insufficient preparation of rescue forces.

Therefore, in the early stage of the rescue, we called it insufficient coordination and ineffective rescue, so this is an objective reality.
