The Gansu Marathon accident triggered a heated discussion. What responsibilities do you think the organizers need to bear?
The cause of the incident was that 2 1 runner was killed in Gansu Baiyin Marathon cross-country race due to sudden extreme weather. At present, the local government has set up an incident investigation team, and the incident needs further investigation. The reason for this tragedy lies in the sudden change of extreme weather, which brought low temperature, strong wind and heavy rain, and made many participants feel unwell such as hypothermia. One? A narrow escape? Some players said that the whole process from numbness of hands and feet to unconsciousness took only 4 minutes.
2 1 The death of victims is mainly due to the extreme weather without heat preservation measures. In other words, if these players can have the corresponding support equipment, they are likely to survive. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is impossible to start over.
What responsibility should the organizer bear? First of all, it depends on the dereliction of duty of the organizer. At present, the organizers made an empirical mistake and did not require the players to wear jackets. Moreover, the meteorological department issued a strong wind warning to the organizers before the marathon started, but the organizers did not postpone the race at that time. Many runners say that the weather has changed since the marathon began. Organizers do make many mistakes, and it is inevitable to take responsibility.
Why is there no weather warning? Now the weather forecast technology is so advanced. As a high-intensity sports event, mountain marathon has not taken active measures to pay attention to the weather changes. In such bad weather, we can't take active and effective measures, and the organizers should bear great responsibility.
Why not remind athletes to pay attention to safety? Secondly, as an organizer, athletes should be reminded and asked to stop the competition as soon as possible when any dangerous situation is found. However, it seems that the organizers did not anticipate the complex environment in the mountainous area at all, nor did they remind the athletes to be prepared.
Why not stop the game in time? In fact, there was already a strong wind at the beginning of the marathon, and extreme weather is not uncommon in places like mountainous areas. So the so-called organizers should be able to predict this kind of weather change, but they didn't stop the game.
