The weather is hot in summer
A lot of parents like it
Take the kids to the water to cool off
however
Swimming rings ≠ lifebuoys
The swimming ring is not selected correctly, and it is not used correctly
It is quite possible that it will become
The "Circle of Death" that harms children
↓↓↓
sometimes
Not only does the swimming ring not play a life-saving role
It will even give
Harm to the safety of children's lives
so
What is the difference between a swimming ring and a lifebuoy?
Let's take a look
👇👇👇
Experiment 1
Firefighters simulated drowning while swimming
Use swimming rings and lifebuoys for self-rescue
At this time, it can be seen
When using a lifebuoy to save yourself
The body is able to maintain a noticeable balance
Experiment 2
Firefighters conducted a throwing experiment on swimming rings
It was found
Due to the lighter weight of the swimming ring
Easy to float
It is difficult to accurately throw to the place where a person is drowning
The unit price of swimming rings with different shapes and colorful colors on the market ranges from more than ten yuan to dozens of yuan, generally made of plastic, although this kind of swimming ring is marked with prohibited matters and precautions for use, few people notice that it usually indicates that non-life-saving products, children need to use swimming rings in shallow water under adult supervision, and the difference between swimming rings and lifebuoys
The national standards for the implementation of swimming rings and lifebuoys are different, and lifebuoys play a life-saving role, and it has many ancillary functions; The swimming ring is defined as a water toy, which implements the standards of the "National Toy Safety Technical Specifications" and the "Safety Technical Requirements for Inflatable Water Toys", which can only play an auxiliary or protective role in water leisure sports, and is dangerous when brought to deep water areas or natural rivers and sea areas to play. Compared with the real lifebuoy, the swimming ring is too light in weight and difficult to throw accurately; Second, it is easy to break and leak, the pressure resistance is very poor, and it is easy to burst; Third, the plastic surface is slippery when exposed to water, which is difficult to grasp. Swimming rings are only suitable for use in shallow areas of the pool. And if you go to the beach, it's best to use a lifebuoy. Even if you are in distress while swimming, as long as you hold on tightly to the lifebuoy, you can ensure that it will not sink and buy time for rescue.
Before children learn to swim, swimming rings are one of their safety guarantees, so it is very important to choose a safe and suitable swimming ring, so how to choose a swimming ring and how to choose a swimming ring
1. Reject the "three nos" products and look for the 3C certification mark. When buying a children's swimming ring, you should first look at whether the swimming ring is marked with the manufacturer, the manufacturer's address, contact information, production date, shelf life and other information, and whether there is a 3C certification mark. The 3C mark is generally pasted on the surface of the product, or pressed on the product by molding, and a closer look will reveal a number of small diamond-shaped "CCC" secret marks. Each 3C logo is followed by a random code, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and product. When the certification mark issuance management center issues the compulsory product certification mark, the corresponding product has been entered into the computer database, and consumers can query the code through the National Quality Certification Center.
2. Choose a swimming ring with smooth seams, thick material, and a sharp contrast between the color and the water surface; Choose a soft, elastic swimming ring on the fabric to cushion it when it collides and avoid children from being injured.
3. When buying a swimming ring, you can choose a product with multiple airbag designs and have a separate inflator nozzle, so that even if one of the airbags leaks, there will be enough air to support the swimmer.
4. If the swimming ring has a pungent smell, it may be made of low-quality plastic and contains chemical components that are harmful to the human body.
How to use a swimming ring safely
One look, two touches and three smells
Take a look at whether the factory name and address prompts are complete
Second, feel whether the solid material is thick
3. Smell whether the solid has a pungent odor
Choose the right place to use
The swimming ring is only suitable for use in the shallow water of the swimming pool, and it is safer to wear a lifebuoy if you go to deep water or outdoor places such as bathing beaches
Do a good job beforehand
Before each use, check whether the swimming ring is damaged, aging, or slowly degassing, and pay attention to replenishing air at any time
Summer is a period of high incidence of "drowning" accidents
Teachers and parents should remind children frequently
Keep away from dangerous waters
Don't go into the water without permission
⚠️
Parents should be extra cautious when swimming with children
Be in good care at all times
Swimming rings can only be used as an aid or protection
It cannot be used as a life-saving facility
Once there is an air leak in the swimming ring
When tipping over, slipping, etc
Call a lifeguard for help quickly
⚠️
Hope everyone
Raise awareness of security
Don't "play in the water" with your life
