　　After Wang Xiangjun was killed, his companion, Xiao Zuo, had a hard time.

In addition to overcoming the sadness of his companion's death and rescue failure, Xiao Zuo was also involved in another storm.

　　During this period, the glacier was still standing cold, and Xiao Zuo, as a companion, was placed on the cusp of public opinion due to a cyber storm.

　　After Wang Xiangjun's death was reported, his companion, Xiao Zuo, became a person who was called "ineffective in rescue" by some netizens.

In other words, in the eyes of these people, if the death of the "Tibetan Adventure King" is regarded as a natural disaster and man-made disaster, then Xiao Zuo's failure to save it is part of the "man-made disaster".

Xiao Zuo responded

　　In this regard, Xiao Zuo recently responded to this matter in a live broadcast.

　　"I brought a rope, but one person couldn't pull it up. The place where he fell was dark ice. I have tried it more than a dozen times, using a tripod or using a rope. All kinds of methods can't work. In the end, I can only find it. Rescue!"

　　Xiao Zuo also said that the local police also stated that it is impossible for a person to pull up: "His (Wang Xiangjun) down jacket absorbs water and is too heavy!"

　　Later, Wang Xiangjun's younger brother also responded to this matter, expressing his belief in Xiao Zuo.

Wang Xiangjun’s brother responded

　　He mentioned that when the police station came, Xiao Zuo's clothes and pants were wet: "I believe he saved my brother with his heart. No matter if it is saved or not, I can't blame others for this."

Wang Xiangjun's younger brother also hoped that netizens would stop the cyber violence, and revealed that Xiao Zuo and his family are under particularly heavy psychological pressure.

　　Xiao Zuo, who was walking with the "King of the Glacier," did not expect that the whirlpool of online violence would be more bitter and harder than the cold wind walking among the glaciers.

　　After the topic of "companion of Tibet Adventure King responding to cyber violence" received widespread attention, some netizens complained about Xiao Zuo.

Netizens complain for Xiao Zuo

　　Looking back at the news about Wang Xiangjun’s falling into the water, in the comments, in addition to the regrets for the deceased, the most is actually the discussion about Wang Xiangjun’s own security measures.

Someone said, “He wouldn’t go if there is a safety rope”; others commented, “I’ve watched a few videos of him, every time I look anxious, I rushed and screamed, really didn’t put my safety in mind. The first one."

　　Wang Xiangjun's dedication to love and sacrifice are naturally worthy of admiration, but after his accidental death, how to ensure his safety while touching the limit is obviously a topic of more concern than "whether his companions will rescue with all their strength".

　　With the rise of social media, extreme sports have entered the public's field of vision more and more frequently, eager to show love to the mountains and the wild, and more people challenge themselves in extreme sports.

　　On the one hand, with the development of health awareness and the popularization of outdoor sports, people desire to get closer to nature, surpass themselves and challenge their limits in the vast outdoor world; on the other hand, the rapid economic and social development and the improvement of living standards will help people Participation in extreme sports provides the material basis.

　　According to data from the professional version of Tianyancha, there are currently over 22,000 extreme sports-related companies in China that are active, existing, moving in, or moving out.

Among them, limited liability companies accounted for over 60%.

From the geographical distribution point of view, Zhejiang Province has the largest number of extreme sports related companies, nearly 4,000, accounting for 17.8%; followed by Guangdong Province, with more than 3,400 companies, accounting for 15.5%.

In addition, the number of related enterprises in Hebei, Jiangsu, and Shandong all exceeded 1,000.

　　In addition, the data that can be retrieved is that during the ten years from 2010 to 2019, the total number of registrations of China's extreme sports related companies (all company status) has increased from the original 8,000 to nearly 30,000.

Among them, the registration of related companies increased the fastest in 2016, reaching 20.47%, and the total number of registrations of related companies in 2019 reached 4,200.

　　However, occasional casualties have made this type of extreme sports with a high risk factor full of controversy.

In the past year alone, from the death of two people in a waterfall, to the accidental death of a flying girl in a wing suit, and to the death of Wang Xiangjun in a glacier at the end of the year, similar news always inadvertently broke into people's vision.

Wang Xiangjun falling into the water

　　Bu He, director of the Outdoor Sports Teaching and Research Office of Beijing Sport University, once said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that the increase in outdoor sports participants and frequent accidents is an inevitable stage in the development of outdoor sports in China: "Other countries with developed outdoor sports are the same. It came from this stage."

　　In his view, with the development of people's sports awareness, the demand for sports is also increasing, and the rise of outdoor sports adventure is a manifestation of people's sports needs and participation in sports.

　　Buhe believes that with the emergence of such accidents, people's safety awareness will inevitably increase.

Therefore, from a professional perspective, what outdoor sports needs to do is to create a more refined industry system.

From skill training for enthusiasts to qualification certification of coaches and guides, a more detailed and accurate industry system has been gradually established.

　　But the ever-improving safety net should not be woven at the expense of accidents and deaths.

Not every adventure can finally turn the tide.

To understand sports risks, do a good job of scientific prevention, and choose formal channels to participate is the prerequisite for engaging in extreme sports.

　　This may be the "Tibetan Adventure King" Wang Xiangjun, who used his life to convey the last message to the world.

This message is worth remembering.

　　At least, after calming down, thinking about how to lock the risks of outdoor sports from "adventure" to the scope of "expedition" is a more valuable point than criticizing the victims' companions.
