Acrobat is hospitalized in the ICU after falling off a tightrope that was replaced with a thinner one - China
August 18, an acrobat fell from the sky while performing a tightrope walk at the Siberian Tiger Park in Changchun, Jilin Province. People at the scene said that a doctor tried to rescue him and then sent him to the hospital for treatment. The emergency department and the local street have intervened to verify this.A staff member of the Siberian Tiger Park told the media that the actor involved is currently receiving treatment in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) . However, the cause of the accident are still pending the results of the relevant investigation.According to the staff member, among the three actors who took part in the performance, two actors secretly replaced the professional safety rope with a thin rope they tied themselves because they thought the professional safety rope was too thick and would affect the performance effect. Finally, one actor accidentally fell during the performance and the rope broke due to insufficient tension.It also claimed that since the actors had been equipped with professional safety ropes, the inflatable cushion did not cover the entire venue. The inflatable cushion corresponds to the range of the actors' high-altitude performances. The actor started performing before reaching the designated area, which was also a violation of the park's regulations.If what they said is true, the actors' actions of changing the thin ropes without permission and not performing in the designated area may have violated relevant regulations, but the park cannot escape responsibility for this.As some citizens have questioned, did the park do a good job of checking the key links before the actors went on stage? In particular, why was the actor's behaviour of changing the rope without permission not discovered and stopped in time? It is worth asking whether there was any management negligence.This is not to blame the park, nor to ask it to bear unlimited responsibility for the safety of actors, but a necessary reflection. Imagine if the park could implement the daily safety responsibility, and someone "took a second look" at the actors before they went on stage, perhaps there would be fewer accidents.In fact, the statement that "because the actors have been equipped with professional safety ropes, the inflatable cushion does not cover the entire venue" to a certain extent exposes the park's mentality of taking chances in daily safety assurance.All these accidents serve as a warning that the safety of acrobatic performances must not be taken lightly, and we should never rely on luck.
