The explosive growth of skiing, followed by frequent accidents, has raised concerns about the safety of skiing.

Experts pointed out that ice and snow sports seem to have a low threshold for participation, but in fact, they are professional, and the safety of participants must be in place, otherwise it is easy to have safety accidents.

According to the investigation, most of the skiing accidents in our country at present are the fall and ropeway fall. Some ski resort safety tips and skills are not in place, the coach qualification is not up to standard. Some beginners rushed to the middle and advanced pistes, and accidents occurred in the case of unmanaged and guided skiing. Some skiers were knocked down by other skiers, or collided with obstacles such as electric boxes hidden in the snow, or because the gap in the ski protection net was too large, rushed out of the ski and hit the nearby obstacles, resulting in accidents.

"The primary reason for the frequent occurrence of safety accidents is the lack of safety awareness. The occurrence of major safety accidents in ski resorts is often not the "little white" who is a beginner in skiing, but more professional and senior people. Most of these accidents are caused by skiers being overconfident and letting their guard down." China Tourism Research Institute strategic research Institute associate researcher Won Jun analysis pointed out.

Won Jun believes that the number of ski resort coaches is insufficient, training is not in place can also lead to accidents. In addition, the hidden dangers of facilities and inadequate management of ice and snow sports venues can not be ignored. At present, many snow resort operators from other industries transformation, management of professional lack, many ski resorts have not set up safety management agencies, not equipped with full-time safety management personnel, these to the rapid development of the industry "buried the mine."

Tang Baobao, a senior ski coach, pointed out that with the increasing number of ski sports participants, safety has become the primary concern of coaches. "Many people are coming to ski for the first time, so we need to regulate the actions, so that skiers can master skiing knowledge and establish safety awareness." Tang Baobao introduced that the ski resort further standardized the work of the ski coach, such as the coach must have the legal qualification of training, skiing, teaching, and teaching according to their own coach level, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of snow friends from being infringed.

According to Lee Sang-po, head of the Marketing Department of Keketohai International Ski Resort, skiers are obsessed with the feeling of going downhill like lightning, but without safety awareness and good training, they face safety risks. Every snow friend should put safety first and tighten the safety string.

For skiers, the original purpose of participating in sports is to get health and happiness from the snow. Safety accidents caused by negligence not only outweigh the loss and injury, but also go against the original intention of skiing.

Experts suggest that skiers should learn to protect themselves while exercising. "Skiers should first wear full protective gear, clothes should choose bright or contrasting colors with the snow, so that it is easy to identify and avoid collision." Secondly, to establish safety awareness, beginners do not go skiing alone, especially skiing wild snow. Finally, it is the improvement of skiing technology, especially in the practice of new skills with high difficulty coefficient. Learn to unload when you fall uncontrollably to minimize the damage to yourself." Tang Baobao told reporters.

At present, Beijing and the surrounding snow resorts have begun to make snow, and some snow resorts in Chongli, Hebei Province have also "opened the board". Experts remind that snow friends should be prepared to keep the safety bottom line while skiing happily.

Not only for individuals, but also for the industry, safety management is increasingly important. Strengthen security, strengthen safety management and supervision, only in order to control risks in the front, hidden dangers in the front, the snow resort safety work to do more stringent, detailed and solid.

"Snow resort operators should increase professional coaches, reduce training costs, and make consumers more willing and able to experience professional training." At the same time, we should buy snow and ice insurance for consumers, improve safety nets and other equipment, and build a strong ski safety protection wall." Han Yuan Jun pointed out.

Promoting the safe development of the ski industry is inseparable from the sound and perfect laws and regulations. In July this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued 11 national standards for ice and snow sports, including the "basic terminology of mass skiing sports", "Mass Alpine skiing and snowboarding sports level evaluation code", "Sports site grade division Part 5: Ski site star classification and evaluation" and other norms, providing normative guidance for the safety of snow resorts.

Li Xiaoming, chairman of the Beijing Ski Association, said that in recent years, there have been more and more skiing people with zero foundation, and it is particularly important to improve the safety system of ski resorts and introduce relevant management rules and safety standards for ski sports. At the same time, ski enthusiasts must enhance safety awareness, according to their own level and ability to choose the right pistes and snow resorts, safely enjoy the fun of skiing.

"We can't let safety work follow the accident. Only by firmly thinking at the bottom line can we ensure the safety of skiers and the stable and healthy development of the industry." Li Xiaoming said.
