21 people died in marathon accident. The secretary of Gansu Provincial Party Committee said, was this accident caused by man-made or natural disasters?

The Baiyin Marathon accident in Gansu * * * caused 21 deaths, and the on-site handling situation also touched the hearts of countless people. With such a huge casualty, Yin Hong, secretary of Gansu Provincial Party Committee, immediately convened a special meeting after the accident to make arrangements for the rescue and disposal work, and immediately launched an emergency plan, and set up an emergency emergency headquarters and working groups for on-site search and rescue, medical treatment, after-care disposal, accident investigation and comprehensive coordination to quickly organize forces to carry out rescue.

Not only that, Governor Ren Zhenhe also led other provincial leaders to the scene of the accident and personally conducted the scene. Judging from the above arrangements, it shows that the Gansu Provincial Party Committee attaches great importance to this accident.

There were 172 athletes participating in this competition, but 21 people died in this competition, with a mortality rate of 12%, which is enough to break the Guinness Book of Sports Records. Twenty-one young and lively lives passed away in this way, and people can't help asking, is this accident caused by man-made reasons or natural disasters?

I think that although the weather is the direct cause of the death of athletes, the unprofessional organizers and careless work are the important causes of this accident. Before the competition, meteorological stations have made early warning tips on the weather during the competition.

In this competition, 21 athletes were killed because of extreme weather. According to news reports afterwards, before the competition, the local meteorological station had made a forecast of the weather on the day of the competition, suggesting that extreme weather might hit, but it was a great pity that the weather forecast did not get the attention of the competition organizers. The management and coordination of the organizers of the competition are in name only.

The marathon we often see is usually held in the city, but this marathon is different from ordinary marathons. The marathon is 1 kilometers long, and the venue is far away from the bustling area of the city, and the track with a long distance is on the barren hills. In addition, the city of this competition is located in Baiyin City, Gansu Province, with a relatively high altitude. Athletes are at a high altitude during the competition, which is also a great test for athletes.

why is the management of the organizers of the games not done well?

1. Marathon races are generally far away, which tests athletes' physical strength and endurance. In such a long-distance race, athletes' physical consumption will be very large, so it is necessary to replenish their bodies in time to provide energy for athletes. Unfortunately, this race is due to the negligence of the organizers or other reasons, and there are very few supply points along the way.

2. Athletes in this competition spend most of their time on high-altitude roads. Being at high altitude for a long time will cause altitude sickness and lack of oxygen. The main symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath. If not treated in time, people will fall into a coma and may be life-threatening.

It is estimated that most athletes didn't expect that the competition would be on the plateau, so they should have failed to respond in advance, and the organizers obviously didn't inform this situation in advance, which led to the athletes' failure to respond in the competition.

3, but it can't be completely said that the management of the event organization has not been done. It is understood that at the beginning of the competition, the organizers arranged to give each athlete a towel, but most athletes were at a loss when they received the towel. They simply didn't know what the towel was for, and it also added trouble to their competition, which made many towels discarded by athletes. The organizer of the competition has no emergency plan for emergencies.

For such a large-scale sports event, and under the complicated competition environment, the organizers should fully consider all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur during the competition and the corresponding countermeasures before the competition. However, judging from the process and result of this game, it is obvious that the organizers did not take these into account, which are the root causes of this tragedy.

This competition caused heavy casualties, and also had a relatively unfavorable social impact on Baiyin, Gansu. Extreme weather is only a natural phenomenon, which we can't change for human beings, but if we can fully understand various factors before the competition and do our work more carefully in the competition, this man-made accident can be completely avoided.

The lesson of this accident is very painful, and it can also be used for reference by the organizers of other events, but the cost of such lessons is really too high. At present, the aftermath is being handled in an orderly way, and I also hope that the deceased will rest in peace!
