I believe that many larger squares will have fountains to attract tourists. Fountains in large squares are generally musical fountains, which will spray out at different heights with the music. However, although the fountain is beautiful, there are also many safety hazards. In August 2021, such a sad thing happened in Qingyang, Gansu Province. An eight-year-old boy, accompanied by his guardian, went to the square. However, the boy was rushed into the air by the water from the musical fountain, and then fell to the ground. He died 11 days after the rescue.
The occurrence of such an incident has to make people reflect on the fact that the musical fountain was originally a major attraction of the square to attract tourists, and it was a place that was intended to bring happiness to tourists. But he was caught off guard and became a weapon for killing people. I think the occurrence of such a thing will bring a certain psychological shadow to people who visit the musical fountain. When such an accident occurs, accountability has become a big issue. Is the responsibility due to the fact that the fountain in the Music Square has too much pressure and safety issues were not considered during its construction, or because the guardians failed to take good care of their children. Or both are responsible. The final issue of liability still depends on how the court decides.
At present, the children's parents and the operator of the musical fountain are still negotiating compensation matters, and have not yet reached a consensus. The family has filed a lawsuit with the court, and the court will definitely give them a fair ruling. It is very sad that such an accident occurs. Because the eight-year-old child has not yet seen the wider world, but he lost his life because of such an unexpected accident. Life is precious, and such a blow must be devastating to the family.
So when you go out to play in the future, you must remain vigilant about everything. Even if it is something that seems safe, you must also retain a sense of safety. Especially when taking your children out to play, you must keep an eye on them to prevent such accidents from happening again.
