1. The equipment is aging, and the bungee jumping equipment used at the time of the accident has been baptized over the years.
2. Equipment wear, long-term use makes the bungee cord surface wear, reducing its load-bearing capacity.
3. Inadequate maintenance of equipment, equipment in operation, due to the lack of necessary maintenance, resulting in some parts loose and failure.
II. Reasons for Equipment
Inadequate maintenance of equipment, hidden dangers hidden, pre-operation inspection negligence, security is not guaranteed.
Lack of regular maintenance, frequent equipment failures, production efficiency damage.
Neglect of maintenance details, equipment life shortened, increased enterprise costs.
II. Reasons for Equipment
Bungee cord wear serious, service life is too long, bearing capacity decline.
The seat belt fastening point is loose and can not be locked effectively.
There are defects in the process of equipment manufacture, such as bad welding, inferior material and so on.
Lack of necessary maintenance, leading to equipment aging.
III. Operational Reasons
Bungee park operators are often not professionally and systematically trained, leaving them scrambling in the face of complex equipment.
Lacking the necessary operational skills, they are often unable to respond quickly to emergencies.
Untrained operators also have a relatively poor understanding of safety standards and operating procedures.
