“Internet celebrity” 188bet projects continue to cause casualties

As understood，The biggest selling point of Hugu Gorge Scenic Area，Built the glass bridge across the canyon and the 188bet on the cliff、Observation Deck。Afternoon of the 19th，Some tourists are riding the downhill glass slide，Due to sudden heavy rain、Sliding too fast，Resulting in collision and casualties。

Introduction based on scenic spot information，You need to wear special pants when riding the 188bet slide，The buttocks of the pants are thickened。Also，The slide is fully enclosed，Even if you can’t stop，Don’t worry about flying out，Maximum number of series collisions or rear-end collisions。

But the family of an injured tourist said，188bet is inherently slippery，It gets even slippery after it rains，The speed of descent was extremely fast when the accident occurred，Difficult to control。

Although 188bet tourism projects have become “Internet celebrities” in various places，But in recent years, there have been constant casualties among tourists:

2019，Renovation of 188bet in Qingdao Horizontal Zero Point Scenic Area，A child almost fell into the sea；2018，A child fell and was injured due to maintenance on a 188bet in Changchun, Jilin；2017，An accident occurred on the 188bet in Mulan Shengtian Scenic Area, Hubei，Causing 1 death and 3 injuries；2016，Tourists on the Tianmen Mountain 188bet in Zhangjiajie were injured by falling rocks...

Actually as early as 2017、2018，General Office of the State Council、The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and other departments have repeatedly proposed to strengthen access to high-risk projects such as 188bet roads、Operation Security Management。At the request of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism，A series of thorough investigations have been carried out in various places，Some projects were ordered to suspend operations or make rectifications。

Although accidents occur frequently，However, the increasing number of tourists still attracts more businesses to join this market。According to statistics from industry insiders，Currently，National 188bet Slide、Suspension bridge、There are more than 1,000 viewing platforms，Similar projects continue to refresh "higher、Longer、More novel、A more thrilling” record，Some also add experience gimmicks such as “5D simulation” and “instant explosion”。

China Bidding and Procurement Navigation Network Display，In the past year，There are at least dozens of successful “188bet” and “glass bridge” projects。zaituniu.com，There are more than 500 tourist project information related to the 188bet；Qunar.com and Glass Walkway、About 600 pieces of product information related to glass bridges。

The underlying problem: lagging standards、Irregular management、Unclear supervision

Why have safety accidents occurred frequently in 188bet projects in recent years？

A staff member of a slide construction company who has undertaken more than 100 related projects in many places across the country said frankly，Currently there is no national standard for 188bet slide projects，Enterprise standard only。As far as he knows，An industry standard organized by the National Ropeway and Amusement Facilities Standardization Technical Committee is still in progress。

“When this kind of project first came out, everyone called it 188bet bridge，What is a 188bet bridge，No unified specification，There is no unified standard for industry technical specifications。" said Guo Kun, deputy general manager of Jiangxi Branch of China Construction Sixth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd.。

The person in charge of a scenic spot in central China said，Currently many 188bet projects are constructed based on experience，If the slope of the glass slide does not exceed 32 degrees, etc.。

Li Zhongguang, Vice President of China 188bet Academy said，The landscape plank roads in some counties are produced and operated by small local construction companies without special equipment qualifications，The quality is obviously not up to par，There are hidden risks。

Guo Kun said，After construction is completed，Some companies have not conducted relevant destructive experiments to test bridge stability，No wind resistance、Shock absorbing and other devices，The stability coefficient cannot be guaranteed，There are certain security risks。In some small scenic spots，Some 188bet projects even use only steel rods for connections。

Professor Li Yunsheng 188bet School of Civil Engineering of Shijiazhuang Railway University said，Many accidents are caused by irregular operation and management。"Under what weather conditions、When the number of people exceeds the number of people, it should limit the flow or stop opening，There should be clear regulations，To avoid the recurrence of such tragedies。”

"Warning signs of scenic spots、Is the slogan in place，Do you have anti-slip shoe covers when it rains or snows，Is the rain and snow cleared in time，Whether regular 188bet mold removal is carried out，Are safety protection measures in place，These are all things that need to be paid attention to in later maintenance measures。"Guo Kun said。

Also，Who will supervise is also a troubling question。Reporter learned，188bet、Slide、High-risk tourism projects such as suspension bridges，Is it technology、Special equipment with high safety standards，Which department supervises it，It’s still unclear。

Industry insiders said，The cultural and tourism department is responsible for macro-level tourism safety management guidance，Can only cover A-level scenic spots；No compulsory measures can be taken against scenic spots，Regarding the scenic spots with problems，Can only be downgraded or delisted。Also，Currently, a large number of local cities, counties and even villages have their own 188bet roads，This is also outside the scope of its supervision。

Implement the standards as soon as possible and strengthen daily maintenance and management

188bet by multiple interviewees，Due to the lack of unified standards and prior prevention，Some places can only be closed down immediately after the accident.。

Reporter learned，The State Administration for Market Regulation (Standards Committee) recently approved the release of the national standard "Suspended Floors、Step、Trail and plank road 188bet》，The standard will be implemented in April 2021。The China Academy of Building Research is also formulating corresponding testing and technical standards。

Suggestions from Di Minghui, President of Hebei 188bet Quality Promotion Association，Unify national standards and management methods as soon as possible，Also clarify the regulatory authorities。Li Zhongguang said，Local Government、Housing and Construction、Geology、Market Supervision、Cultural 188bet、The association needs to coordinate and follow up with multiple parties，Strengthen daily supervision，Carry out comprehensive safety inspections on manufacturers’ production and merchants’ usage。beforehand、Eliminate safety hazards afterwards，We cannot investigate again after an accident，Simply turn it off。

In terms of daily management and maintenance，Experts recommend using smart systems to monitor bridge parameters in a timely manner、Operating Status；Strengthen inspection of core operating equipment 188bet bridge；Regulating tourist behavior；Closing bridges, etc. during extremely bad weather。

Wang Zhanfei, director of the 188bet and Bridge Department, School of Transportation Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, also suggested，The scenic spot is under operation and management，Pay close attention to hidden issues，Strengthen the management of personnel、Current limiting，Strengthening protection measures。
