Recently, a distressing accidental drowning accident occurred in Zhenlong, Huiyang, Huizhou. Four young people went to play in a mountain stream, and one of them drowned in the deep water. Recently, the weather has been hot, and drowning accidents have entered a dangerous period, a prone period and a high incidence period. Remind everyone to cherish life and prevent drowning accidents.
The water in the stream where the incident occurred was about 200 square meters in size, and the water was clear, attracting four young people to swim on May 28.
Zhao Xichang, captain of the battle flag salvage team of Huizhou Heart-to-Heart Public Welfare Association: "There were 3 people who went down to play in the water, and one of them drowned. ”
After the incident, the Battle Flag Rescue Team and the Blue Sky Rescue Team quickly rushed to the scene to carry out search and rescue. The team worked closely to lift the drowning victim to a safe position on the shore, and the doctor immediately carried out emergency rescue measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the drowning man had no vital signs.
Zhao Xichang pointed out that many people do not have a good understanding of the dangers of water and often underestimate the potential risks of water. At the same time, some people lack the necessary self-rescue skills and equipment when swimming, and it is often difficult to save themselves in the event of an accident. Zhao Xichang appealed to understand the water conditions before swimming to determine whether there are potential safety hazards. At the same time, carry the necessary self-rescue equipment, such as lifebuoys, life jackets, etc., and ensure that these equipment can be used correctly.
Zhao Xichang, captain of the battle flag salvage team of Huizhou Heart-to-Heart Public Welfare Association: "The water has a blind spot, and the water surface is quite calm, but there is likely to be suction and eddies below, rolling you away, and the water is turbid, and I don't know the depth of the water." ”
Summer, as a period of high incidence of drowning incidents, is the period of our key prevention. Although safety tips and knowledge about drowning prevention are repeated over the years, frequent drowning incidents continue to remind us that accidents often happen in a single thought, and such negligence often comes at the cost of lives. Therefore, we reiterate our call for summer drowning prevention is not a cliché, and only when everyone is fully aware of the dangers of water and improves their awareness and ability to protect themselves, can we minimize the occurrence of tragedies and ensure that we have a safe and enjoyable summer.
