Coincidentally, the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter learned that on July 22, a similar incident occurred in the Jiushan Scenic Spot in Jizhou District, Tianjin.
According to the video posted on the Internet, in the middle of a similar "horrifying" suspension bridge in the scenic spot, a man who was suspected of being in a coma was entangled by a safety rope and hung under the suspension bridge.
Three men in civilian clothes tried to rescue him, pulling the rope holding the man up to the bridge.
However, the man's body was suddenly released from the rope as he approached the bridge deck and then fell down.
On July 23, the staff of the Propaganda Department of Jizhou District, Tianjin and the staff of the scenic spot confirmed the matter to reporters.

Tianjin Jiushan Scenic Spot Accident
The rescuer's operation may be wrong
Does the operator of the "Scarlet Heart" amusement project inform the project in advance of the risks?
According to Mr. Wang, there are warning notices at the entrance of the project.
"For a high-risk project like this, there is a reminder next to the entrance that it is not suitable for sudden diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure to experience this project."
So, in addition to safety tips, is the safety training for project operators and staff in place?
Are the necessary safety equipment provided?
Mr. Li, a member of Blue Sky Rescue, said in an interview with reporters that in the Tianjin Jiushan accident, there may be errors in the operation of the rescuers.
It can be seen from the video that the rope wrapped around the trapped person is not strong. During the lifting process, the rivet point of the rope is displaced, and finally the man falls off the rope.
In such a situation, it is not urgent to pull the body of the trapped person upwards, but the riveting point of the rope should be made first to fix the body of the trapped person before rescue.
In addition, Mr. Zhou, an industry insider who is engaged in the construction of high-altitude amusement projects in scenic spots, revealed that according to the live video, in the bridge fall accident in the Dixin Valley scenic spot in Enshi, Hubei, there may be a situation where the safety ropes were not properly tied.
"This is because the safety equipment has not been checked, resulting in the safety rope falling off. It may also be related to the fact that the experiencer is a child. The safety rope size of adults and children is different, and the staff did not adjust the safety rope properly, which caused the child to escape from the safety net. It fell out of the rope."
The reporter noticed that such thrilling high-altitude quality development projects have been set up in A-level scenic spots in many places across the country.
Mr. Zhou revealed that in addition to safety ropes, safety nets can also be configured under the bridge to form double insurance.
However, many scenic spot operators often do not install safety nets under bridges for aesthetic reasons.

"Scared every step" must not become "deadly every step"
"Scared step by step" has become "deadly every step of the way". Two accidents have sounded the alarm for the current summer vacation tourism activities: some scenic spots have not done enough inspection and maintenance of tourism facilities, some amusement projects have hidden safety hazards, and the journey may become Dangerous way.
At present, the scenic spots involved have been closed for internal rectification. Scenic spots around the world should take warning, comprehensively investigate potential safety hazards, plug safety loopholes, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
In recent years, in order to attract tourists to "check in", some scenic spots have launched new amusement projects such as suspended bridges, swing bridges, glass plank roads, and air castles, and have used new media such as short videos to enhance their reputation.
The innovation of tourism products is worthy of recognition, but the design and planning, daily operation and maintenance, and safety management of amusement facilities must meet relevant standards, and safety measures must be foolproof. Scenic spots and regulatory authorities must take responsibility for ensuring the personal safety of tourists.
Travel is for physical and mental pleasure.
Such adventurous amusement projects such as suspension bridges require the experiencer to have the corresponding physical fitness and reaction ability.
Tourists should also consider their own conditions before the experience, think twice, and not easily put themselves in danger.
Scenic spots should also give warnings to adventurous amusement projects. Only by ensuring safety, can they live up to the beauty of the journey and gain more beauty and comfort.

Behind the accident:
Safety and quality standards are almost blank
Every step is "stunning"
According to public information, "Jingxin" is a high-altitude walkway project, usually set up in canyons, rivers and other places, and is loved by tourists because of its challenging nature.
However, due to the late development of the project, the lack of relevant regulations, or the problems of inconsistent project construction standards.
Several staff members of amusement equipment manufacturing companies said that at present, "step by step" does not belong to special equipment, and there is no unified standard for construction. "They do not belong to special equipment, and there is no standard at all."
They all said that after the project is built for the scenic spot, the staff of the scenic spot will be trained on the safety management of recreational facilities.
A staff member of an amusement equipment manufacturing company in Henan said, "During the use of the equipment, we will put forward some requirements for equipment-related inspections to the user, such as the content of daily inspection, monthly inspection and annual inspection."
Taking safety equipment as an example, he said that safety equipment is divided into equipment worn by tourists, protective ropes and safety buckles.
The staff member said that as long as the safety equipment is qualified when it leaves the factory, "in its service life, if there is a quality problem, it is mostly surface damage, which is visible to the naked eye."
The spare parts of some equipment of the "Jingxin" project have a certain service life and need to be replaced when they expire.
As far as safety equipment is concerned, the staff member said that the service life of safety equipment generally does not exceed one year. "We will remind and urge the user to replace it, but whether to replace it depends on the specific situation of the user."
In terms of the choice of safety equipment, there are no mandatory regulations or industry standards for the "Jingxin" project, and there are differences between different amusement equipment manufacturing companies.

Yin Jie, a professor at the Tourism Safety Research Institute of Huaqiao University, said that judging from the live videos of two "horrifying" safety accidents in Enshi, Hubei and Jizhou, Tianjin, if such high-altitude and high-risk projects have safety nets, isolation nets or Safety air cushions and other protective measures will not cause casualties even if tourists fall. "From my personal experience and industry observations, it is true that such projects generally lack complete safety protection measures, and protective equipment such as safety nets are often missing."
In addition, Yin Jie said that the current national standards, quality standards and safety standards for such Internet celebrity projects are almost blank. "Only the special facilities and equipment in the "Special Equipment Catalog" will be included in the supervision of the market supervision and management department. At present, this kind of cliff swing Most of the Internet celebrity projects such as "Beibujingxin" are not included in the "Special Equipment Catalog", and there is no unified industry standard, especially in terms of safety supervision and quality assurance, which are almost blank."
Yin Jie told reporters that for these high-risk tourism projects that are not included in the "Special Equipment Catalog", in terms of safety supervision, the "High-risk Tourism Project Catalog" previously compiled by the National Tourism Administration should be combined to clarify the high-risk projects. , regulatory authorities, to issue relevant policy standards as soon as possible.
