What does Gansu Mountain Marathon inspire our usual sports activities?

A mountain marathon in Gansu suffered from extreme weather. * * * 15 1 participants were rescued, 8 of them were slightly injured, and 2 1 participants lost their vital signs when they were found. The Gansu Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government have set up an incident investigation team to further investigate the cause of the incident. A mountain marathon has caused such tragic casualties, which is probably unique in the world. We all know that marathons, especially mountain marathons, are very dangerous, so the entry threshold is very high, but in the face of such tragic consequences, most people can't imagine. What does Gansu Mountain Marathon inspire our usual sports activities? Then let's take a look together.

The main reason for the death of the team members is the sudden extreme weather in the local area. During the competition, there were severe weather such as hail, freezing rain and strong wind. The temperature plummeted, and the participants felt unwell and hypothermia, which eventually caused many casualties. Extreme weather exists objectively, but it is undoubtedly not objective to attribute the main cause of tragedy to the weather. As some netizens said, this tragedy is both a natural disaster and a "man-made disaster".

The term "man-made disaster" means that the logistics work of the organizer and the organizer is not in place and the emergency plan is "not urgent". Competitors come from all over the country and can't understand the local terrain and weather. At the same time, when participating in such mountain marathons, most of them are "frivolous", and the means to deal with extreme weather are extremely limited. However, as the organizer and organizer of the event, didn't you predict the possible local weather changes? Why didn't the countermeasures after extreme weather play their due role?

The death of a player due to physical discomfort and hypothermia does not happen suddenly, but has a process. Large-scale casualties can be completely avoided if the organizers can respond promptly, reasonably and effectively before the death tragedy. As some netizens said, even after extreme weather, sending local helicopters to put some clothes to keep out the cold will not lead to such tragic casualties. We don't know whether this kind of "hindsight" of netizens is feasible, but shouldn't we try some methods worth trying before saving people?

And the warning brought by this mountain marathon is not only for the local area, but also for the whole country. In recent years, the number of marathon events in China has increased explosively, with thousands of events throughout the year, and the quality of the events is mixed. In order to become famous or develop tourism, some places rushed to launch various marathon events without making good preparations, logistical support and emergency plans, which is worthy of reflection by local governments and competition authorities. In any form of sports events, life safety should be the first. Without life safety, the so-called physical strength and fighting spirit become extravagant talk.
