Recently, a 5-year-old boy in Tonghua City, Jilin Province was playing with his family at the "wild ice rink" on the river. He accidentally fell into an ice hole and drowned, causing widespread concern in the society.
The "Rule of Law Daily" reporter sorted out public information and found that in the past month, there have been casualties caused by skating "wild ice" in many places across the country.
In this regard, the fire department reminded that dangerous behaviors such as skating on "wild ice" are prohibited, and citizens should go to regular ice rinks to play.
The interviewed experts believe that for the "wild ice rink" formed by unmanaged rivers, even if there are hawkers renting ice carts in the "wild ice rink", they are not the management party of the "wild ice rink", they are not the main body of operation, and they are not responsible. The obligation to warn of danger and to persuade people to leave, once people have an accident in this kind of place, they will bear their own responsibility.
The masses must be aware of risks and stay away from the "wild ice rink".
danger lurks under the ice
Multiple deaths due to ice fall
On January 7, at the "Wild Ice Rink" in the back lake of the Beijing Exhibition Hall, many players fell into the water due to the sudden rupture of the ice surface.
"Thinking about it now, I'm still very scared." A college student who participated in the rescue of people at the "Wild Ice Rink" in the Houhu Lake of the Beijing Exhibition Center said when describing the scene that day.
It is reported that those who fell into the water were all college students. After the start of the winter vacation, they chose to gather and play there, and then an accident happened.
"A good friend of mine can't swim. He struggled to get his head out of the ice from time to time to catch his breath. He didn't know how many sips of ice water he drank." The college student said.
Regarding the degree of danger at that time, he "thinks about it now and still shudders." The ice surface was thin and slippery, and he desperately grabbed the rescue rope. If he had less strength, he would probably be pulled down by his classmates in the water.
The live video on the day of the incident showed that after the ice surface broke, at least four players in dark black padded clothes fell into the water. Many rescuers around quickly formed a "human wall" and found ropes and other tools. Slowly approach the person who fell into the water in the same way, and after the person who fell into the water grabs the rope, they will work together to pull him back from the water to the ice surface.
The reporter noticed that there were many children among the onlookers near the cracked ice.
On January 9, the reporter saw near the "wild ice rink" in the back lake of the Beijing Exhibition Hall that there were still citizens "skating wild ice" on the ice. Many of them were parents playing with their children. People who rent skates.
The playful laughter on the ice contrasts with the fresh red warning banners on the lakeshore.
The banners read "The lake is dangerous, please do not skate" and "Construction on the island has not yet completed, please do not enter for your safety".
The reporter checked the information and found that the back lake of the Beijing Exhibition Hall is not included in the natural river and lake ice rinks opened by the Beijing water system this year. Therefore, skating here is really a dangerous "wild ice" behavior.
Dangerous skating on "wild ice" does not only appear in the back lake of the Beijing Exhibition Hall.
On January 8, a citizen fell into the ice on an ice surface in the Dragon-shaped Water System of the Olympic Park in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
According to a short video blogger who was present at the time, someone accidentally fell into the ice hole while playing, and two people also fell down together when they went to rescue them. In the end, all of them were rescued without serious problems.
The attitude of the surrounding people towards the accident is worrying.
"Just next to the place where the incident happened, as soon as the person who fell into the water climbed up, there was a two- or three-year-old child walking on the ice, and the parents next to him didn't take the child out of this area quickly." The blogger told reporters.
According to the video taken by the blogger, the reporter saw that after the person who fell into the water left, there were still people nearby using ice picks to test.
"There is more than one broken ice hole on this 'wild ice rink', but such a scene has not dissuaded people from skating on the ice, and many adults and children continue to play on the ice."
On the shore, every other section there is a sign reminding tourists, which says "For your safety, please do not play on the ice", and a big horn is hung on a fence, playing repeatedly "The ice is too thin, please don't skate" warning.
In the next two days, the reporter visited many "wild ice rinks" in Beijing and found that although many "wild ice rinks" had warning signs saying "Ice surface is dangerous, please do not skate", some staff even held The loudspeaker patrols to dissuade, but there are still skating fans who put on their skates, take the ice hockey stick, and push on the ice skating car. They walk on the ice in groups of three and four. When they meet tourists with children, many rent skating cars Vendors of skates and skates will also come forward to solicit business.
Many players told reporters that although they noticed the relevant prompts, they felt that "so many people are playing here, nothing will happen."
Many industry insiders said that the ice surface is smooth and fragile, and the ice water is cold. Once you accidentally fall into the ice hole, it will be very difficult to rescue.
The load-bearing capacity of the ice surface cannot be observed with the eyes.
At the same time, on the ice surface that freezes on the flowing river, because the water level of the river will change with the amount of water, a "vacuum" of two or three centimeters will be formed under the ice surface, posing danger.
According to data released by relevant departments: Recently, the 119 command center in Beijing alone has received multiple reports of ice rescue calls, and many of them were killed in the ice water.
On December 23 last year, an old man in Miyun District, Beijing was frozen in a thick layer of ice and was rescued without vital signs; in the early morning of January 2 this year, two men There was an ice falling accident, and there were no vital signs when they were rescued.
Web blogger packaging promotion
Dangerous rivers and lakes become check-in places
It is worth noting that some "wild ice rinks" in the suburbs of Beijing have been "planted with grass" by Internet bloggers and have become Internet celebrity ice skating spots, and their safety hazards are even more worrying.
The "Little Erhai Lake" in the suburbs of Beijing, the "mirror of the sky" in Beijing... Recently, some areas in the suburbs of Beijing have been "out of the circle" on the Internet, but most of these ice skating places are located in remote places, some wild rivers are as wide as 100 meters, and the terrain is complex. The thickness of the ice layer is difficult to measure with the naked eye.
On some social platforms and short video platforms, many bloggers have packaged these potentially dangerous ice surfaces with attractive words such as "beautiful", "free" and "production", attracting groups of fans to visit , The topic about "Wild Ice Rink" even exceeded tens of millions of views.
In these videos, in addition to individual warnings about the danger of skating on "wild ice", more of them show the content of sliding and jumping on the "wild ice rink".
Although some bloggers mentioned that some of the ice surfaces are not solid and you should pay attention to safety when punching in, but more bloggers kept silent about the safety of these "wild ice rinks", and even bluntly said that "it's already frozen here" and "you can play at will" "It's too cost-effective to check in and take pictures here."
Most of the netizens who left messages under many popular Internet posts were attracted by the "shocking blockbuster" shared by Internet bloggers, and asked the bloggers for specific addresses.
Some netizens shared their dangerous experience of falling into the water as an interesting story.
Only a few netizens commented that the topography of these rivers is complicated, and the thin ice surface in some places hides danger.
According to the reporter's investigation, the above-mentioned recommended "wild ice rinks" include rivers, reservoirs, etc. In the videos of some photographers, it is obvious that there is river water flowing under the ice surface, and there are raised "ice edges" on some ice surfaces. "The ice surface like this is not strong and dangerous.
On social platforms, in addition to sharing the location of the "Wild Ice Rink", netizens also posted self-made simple skating vehicles. Can slide.
Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, analyzed that the recommended "wild ice rink" has an accident. Whether it is a blogger or an online platform, it is difficult to demand legal responsibility from a legal point of view, because it cannot Prove that there is a causal relationship between the recommendation and the accidental injury.
Go to the official ice rink to play
Special inspections to ensure safety
Hit it with a big rock, and the ice splatters, but there are no cracks or holes on the ice surface, which seems to be a signal that "you can go on the ice"; or you can just step on it with one foot to test the "truth and reality"... The reporter saw during the investigation It is known that many people use this method to "test" the thickness of the ice surface to judge whether the "wild ice rink" is safe.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of professional rescuers, such a "temptation" is actually "making a joke about one's own life".
It is understood that in Beijing, regular ice rinks have special personnel to keep an eye on temperature changes and monitor the thickness of the ice layer.
According to the relevant regulations of Beijing, the average thickness of the ice layer must be at least 15 centimeters before tourists are allowed to go on the ice; when the temperature rises, the thickness of the ice layer is insufficient, and the bearing capacity is limited, the ice rink will suspend business.
According to Yang Qian, the person in charge of the Shichahai Park Ice Rink, the ice rink staff usually use a steel drill to punch a small hole in the ice, and then insert the iron hook to hook the bottom of the ice layer.
After taking out the iron hook, use a tape measure to directly measure the distance of the iron hook below the ice surface.
Five or six test points, such as the sunny side and the shady side, need to be selected for each measurement to ensure safety.
The ice rink in Shichahai Park has full-time personnel patrolling around the clock, and strictly implements the regulation of "one person per 10 square meters of ice surface"; it insists on measuring the thickness of the ice layer every morning, noon, and night, and pays attention to the weather forecast information at any time to increase the ice capacity in a timely manner. layer measurements.
At the same time, an emergency rescue team is set up. In case of emergencies such as falls, tramples, and cracks on the ice surface, the rescue team will arrive at the scene as soon as possible and take measures to avoid casualties.
For the "wild ice rink", relevant departments have also issued safety risk reminders.
On December 30 last year, the Beijing Municipal Emergency Management Bureau reminded citizens to go to regular ice rinks and prohibit dangerous behaviors such as skating on "wild ice".
Zhao Zhanzhan said that for the "wild ice rink" formed by unmanaged rivers, even if there are hawkers renting skating vehicles at the "wild ice rink", they are not the management party of the "wild ice rink", they are not the main body of operation, and they are not responsible for warnings Danger and the obligation to persuade people to leave, once people have an accident in this kind of place, they still bear their own responsibility.
Therefore, in order to avoid such accidents, it is still necessary to strengthen safety education and safety publicity, so that the common people realize the importance of safety, and do not go to the "wild ice rink".
He reminded that for the "wild ice rink" formed by the rivers in parks and scenic spots, the business entities of parks or scenic spots have the obligation of safety management and reminders.
If skating is not allowed in the management area, warning signs and patrol personnel should be set up, and skaters should be stopped in time if they are found.
If an accident occurs due to inadequate management of tourists' "wild ice skating", the management party needs to bear the corresponding responsibility, but it is only a secondary responsibility, and the main responsibility is still borne by the actor himself.
