Pole vault was originally started by people in ancient times to be able to jump over ditches, and it has gradually developed into a formal sport, but it is actually a very potentially dangerous activity.
In these competitions, you can see that athletes need to go through a run-up and then jump quickly on the pole, and cross the obstacle to pass, but the time of crossing is often the time when the danger is most likely.
Whenever there is a video of such a game, there will always be some words in the barrage, such as: If there is no accident, it is going to be an accident. In fact, there are not many accidents in pole vault competitions, but they are not without them.
In March 2021, a student from Vecchito High School had a major accident in this sport, when he had completed a series of difficult moves and landed steadily, but was thrown high when he landed on the mat.
In the end, the head hit the ground, and in the end, the rescue was ineffective and lost such a young life. And in February 2020, there was also an accident in the pole competition, where an athlete was poked in the lower body by a pole during a jump.
In the end, not only did the body fracture when he fell, but the scrotum was torn and he was stitched with more than a dozen stitches.
Pole vaulting is a very difficult and dangerous sport that requires good physical and technical skills. In pole vault training, the pole is one of the most important equipment, and it is an indispensable prop to complete the jumping action.
However, if the quality of the pole is not up to standard or there are other problems, it can cause serious harm to the athlete's body. For example, if you fall from a high altitude, if you fall on the mat, it will have a cushioning effect, but if you are on the ground, it will be over.
This happened in a men's pole vault competition at the 2012 London Olympics, when an athlete from Cuba suddenly heard a pole break when he tried to jump to new heights.
Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the staff rushed to take emergency measures, and other athletes, coaches and spectators present were very frightened and rushed forward to help him.
Fortunately, he was not fatally injured, after all, the athlete did not have time to take any measures after losing his balance in the air, and the accident happened very suddenly and unexpectedly.
The athlete was interviewed by reporters afterwards, he originally thought that he could successfully complete this training, but he did not expect such an accident to happen, facing the interviewed media, he had tears in his eyes, after all, coming here can also show his strength.
However, he lost the opportunity to compete for the honor because of a broken pole, he said that he was very painful and regretful, and said that he had trained in pole vault many times before, but this was the first time in his career that he had suffered such an injury.
He believes that this is due to the fact that the quality of the poles does not meet the required standards, and hopes that the relevant authorities can strengthen the inspection and supervision of sports equipment, after all, even a small negligence in sports like this can lead to serious injuries to athletes.
This matter has actually caused a lot of discussion, after all, in such a big sports meeting, there is still such a mistake as a broken pole, and many people think that the sports industry needs to strengthen standardized management to ensure the personal safety of athletes.
Pole vaulting is a complex sport that requires athletes to master the correct pole technique and jumping posture. If the quality of the pole is not up to standard or there is a problem with the material, it can cause great injury to the athlete.
Since pole vaulting is the use of poles to complete the jumping process, if the pole is broken, then it will cause the possibility of injury to athletes, in some larger competitions, pole vaulting events must be managed and evaluated in accordance with international standards.
But in any case, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents or people with ulterior motives, so if you want to further ensure the safety of athletes, the relevant management departments still need to strengthen the inspection and supervision of sports equipment.
The design, materials and manufacturing process of the pole must be strictly controlled, only in this way can the safety of the athletes and the fairness of the competition be guaranteed.
The regulatory and management departments of the sports industry should strengthen the standardized management of pole vault events, clarify the design and quality requirements of poles, and impose severe penalties and recall measures for equipment that does not meet the quality standards, so as to ensure the healthy development of pole vaulting events.
In the wake of this incident, the relevant authorities have begun to carry out a comprehensive inspection of pole vaulting equipment to ensure that the equipment meets international standards. At the same time, event organizers and athletes have also strengthened safety measures and risk assessments for pole vault training in the aftermath of the incident.
Pole vaulting is a sport that is both exciting and high-risk. The sports industry should improve the standardized management of pole vaulting to ensure the safety and rationality of equipment. Only in this way can both athletes and spectators enjoy a better sports experience.
