According to media reports, staff at the scenic spot responded to the falling incident on the 18th, saying, "The person has been sent to the hospital, and we are still following up." Afterwards, the reporter called the Emergency Management Bureau of Changchun Jingyue High-tech Industrial Development Zone, and the staff of the bureau said that the bureau had intervened, "We have verified it, and have asked the relevant streets to verify it." When the reporter asked about the progress of the verification, the staff said that the follow-up would be approved by the leader and then give the reporter a reply.


At 16:57 on the 18th, the Siberian Tiger Park in Jilin Province issued an announcement stating that the circus carnival performances in the scenic area would be suspended from August 19, but did not explain the reason.



When the reporter went to the Siberian Tiger Park, a staff member said,The actor is receiving treatment in the ICU, 2 of the 3 actors who participated in the performance thought that the professional safety rope was too thick and would affect the performance.He secretly replaced the rope with a thin rope he had tied himself, and as a result, one of the actors accidentally fell during the performance and the rope broke due to lack of tension.
It said that since the actors have been equipped with professional safety ropes,The inflatable mat does not cover the entire venueThe inflatable cushion corresponds to the range of the actor’s high-altitude performances. The actor started the performance without reaching the designated area, which was also a violation of the park’s regulations.
In mid-May this year, someone posted a post about safety issues at the acrobatic performance at Changchun Siberian Tiger Park. "The performers seemed to have no protective measures when walking on the tightrope, and there was no safety mat on the ground. The performers almost fell several times."
The reporter contacted the netizen, who said that after he called 12345 to report the incident, the Siberian Tiger Park had added an air cushion underneath. The performance manager also explained to him that Xinjiang Dawaizi high-altitude outdoor performances originally did not have safety ropes, but the park required the performers to wear safety ropes for safety reasons, and after the report, an air cushion was added to provide double insurance for the performance.
It is worth noting that the height of a fall from a high altitude is not necessarily high.The current record for the lowest fall to death in high-altitude operations is only 0.6 meters.China's national standard "Classification of Work at Heights" GB3608-1983 stipulates that any work performed at a height where there is a possibility of falling from a height of 2m or more (including 2m) above the falling reference plane is considered work at height.The China Emergency Information Network has also released many case warnings, indicating that high-fall accidents are not necessarily caused by falling from a height, and there are risks when leaving the ground.
