Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Xu Chi) Yesterday, Xinmin Evening News Xinmin App published a report titled "Another worrying scene! The boat of the "Monster Bowl" equipment at Maya Beach Water Park got stuck this afternoon." It reported that four tourists were riding on the boat of the "Monster Bowl" project at the water park when they got stuck on the edge of the amusement equipment and could not move. After the report was published, it quickly sparked heated discussions in society. Maya responded that after inspection, the equipment was not faulty and the tourists were stuck because they were too light.
After the report was published, netizens started discussing the topic of water play safety. Some netizens left messages saying that similar incidents happened repeatedly within a month, and all safety hazards in amusement parks should be eliminated in a timely manner; some netizens also said that the park should proactively inform tourists of precautions, rather than waiting for accidents to happen before "rescuing" them.
A person in charge of the marketing department of Maya Water Park told the Xinmin Evening News reporter that the park found no abnormalities in the equipment after investigation. After the incident, the park immediately stopped the water supply of the project and sent staff to deal with it. They "rescued" the two adults and two children. No casualties were caused and the tourists left the park normally that day. "After investigation, we found that the cause of the accident may be that the total weight of the four tourists was relatively light, and the positions of the people were uneven after they sat on the raft, resulting in the lack of power when the raft slid down and got stuck on the edge of the equipment."
The reporter asked whether the park had fulfilled its obligation to inform in advance. The other party said that before playing the project, a staff member had informed the tourists how to ride the raft correctly and pay attention to safety, etc. The reporter pointed out that the park only listed "height over 1.3 meters", "weight requirement: total weight not exceeding 320 kilograms", "carrying capacity 4 people" and other content in the project equipment introduction column on the official website, without the above additional safety notices and "precautions". After hearing this, the park did not respond.
"Adults and children are stuck in the air like this. It looks very dangerous. It happened twice in one month. It is definitely not accidental." Mr. Zhou, an eyewitness, believes that the park's response is inevitably "passing the buck" to tourists. He said frankly that it is summer vacation and the heat is at its peak. Playing in the water is the first choice for many citizens to cool off, and it is also loved by many children. It is hoped that the management can pay special attention to safety, write down the rules, and provide safety information and guidance to tourists on site, so as not to let similar embarrassing and dangerous scenes happen again and again.
