Expert: Don't blindly believe in your water
reporter interviewed Lan Leijun, the captain of the Lishui Red Cross Emergency Rescue Team, who has rich experience in water rescue. He said that most drowning accidents in Lishui mostly occur in rivers, reservoirs, ponds and other places without safety protection facilities.
In some "wild swimming" places, under the surface of the water, there are deep pits after sand digging, or undercurrents. The water plants and mosses at the bottom of the water are also very likely to cause swimmers to be sleepy or slipping, etc.
Lan Lei Jun said, don’t blindly believe in your water nature. Many people think that as long as you can swim, it is safe to go into the water. In fact, this is not the case. There are neither safety facilities outdoors nor the speed and depth of the river. The waters of the Lishui drowning incident are high. The waters of the Oujiang Lingshan Temple, Wuliting Reservoir, Huangcun Reservoir, Oujiang Bihu Shiniu Bridge, Maque Bay Waters, Port Waters, etc. around the city are all dangerous waters. It is recommended that citizens not swim in these waters. In addition, during the summer vacation, parents must strengthen their children’s swimming safety, drowning prevention, emergency life-saving and other knowledge education and swimming skills training.
"Warning signs are not decorations, but reminders at the tragic price. "Lan Leijun said.
Reporter's Notes
The reporter believes that the management of "wild swimming" must be "blocked" and "diffused".
In terms of "blocking", the government can make some modifications and supplements based on existing laws and regulations to give the patrol personnel of the management unit certain law enforcement powers. At the same time, it can also take the lead in organizing management units to coordinate with law enforcement departments and public security departments; patrol personnel and enthusiastic citizens can report "wild swimming" venues and personnel, and law enforcement departments with law enforcement powers must go to Field processing.
In terms of "disturbance", the government has established some standardized, professional, and people-friendly swimming venues, guiding citizens who love swimming and nature to swim in a safe environment, so there will naturally be fewer and fewer people who "swim" to "wild swimming".
