On the afternoon of the 19th, a niece of the deceased in the accident, Ms. Wang (surnamed Hua), told the Jimu News reporter that her uncle was in his fifties and had no children. On the afternoon of the 18th, the family received news and learned that his uncle was in the elevator of the incident., Has been taken to the hospital. "A few hours later, my uncle died." Ms. Wang said that the diagnosis materials issued by the hospital showed that his uncle's internal organs were seriously damaged and there were wounds on his chin.
"We are still waiting for the results of the government's investigation, and the family is also preparing for the uncle's funeral." Ms. Wang said that she had often purchased goods from Buddhist merchants before, but because of her large purchase volume and inconvenience of going upstairs and downstairs, she seldom went to the fourth floor to buy ingredients. On the morning of the 19th, she went to the commercial capital of Focheng again and saw that the elevator was still holding a cordon, and government staff were checking the scene. Ms. Wang also said that most of the people who take elevators in the commercial capital of Foshan are middle-aged and elderly people. Wednesday and Saturday are "market" days, and there will be more people selling and buying things in the market.
A picture of the scene after the incident obtained by the extreme eye news reporter showed that there were more than a dozen injured people sitting or lying in the elevator, many of whom had gray hair and many blood stains on the ground. In addition, goods such as vegetables and two metal trailers are inside the freight elevator.
Industry: elevator stall should have multiple protection
The accident, but also let the elevator safety issues once again become the focus of attention of users.
Public information shows that in 2020, China's elevator production of about 1.1 million, in the use of elevators has more than 8 million. China's annual output of elevators, in the use of elevator ownership and annual growth are ranked first in the world.
An elevator industry insider who did not want to be named told the extreme news reporter that today's elevator protection mechanism in all aspects is very sound, and the possibility of a direct fall of the entire elevator is very small. There are four floors in the shopping mall involved. The speed of the elevator installed is generally 1 m/s. If the actual running speed exceeds the rated speed to a certain extent, the speed limiter will act. In addition, the elevator pit has a buffer for protection. However, if the safety line is short-circuited, the safety device will fail.
It is understood that the buffer is installed at the bottom of the elevator shaft. When the elevator crouches at the bottom of the car or counterweight due to control failure, insufficient traction force or brake failure, the buffer will absorb the kinetic energy of the car or counterweight and provide final protection to ensure the safety of personnel and elevator structure. In addition to the buffer, the elevator is also equipped with other safety protection devices, such as overspeed protection speed limiter-safety gear linkage device, fall protection landing door interlock device, etc., they are equipped with corresponding electrical switches, real-time monitoring The working status of these devices ensures the safe operation of the elevator.
"Elevators are special equipment, generally inspected once a year and maintained twice a month." According to the analysis of the above-mentioned industry insiders, the Maitreya elevator crash caused such large-scale casualties, which should not be just a simple falling accident. According to the information disclosed at present, the freight elevator is mixed with people and goods, which does not rule out that heavy objects are pressed against people during the falling process, or sharp objects carried hurt people.
Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that the division of responsibility for the elevator fall incident mainly depends on the cause of the accident and the behavior of the parties involved. If the elevator design, manufacturing problems or maintenance is not in place leading to accidents, then the manufacturer or maintenance unit may be identified as the main responsibility; If the design, installation, maintenance or use of the elevator does not meet the relevant standards, or the existing safety hazards are not repaired in time, then the construction unit, the owner or the specific user may bear certain responsibilities; if the regulatory authorities have dereliction of duty in the process of elevator approval and supervision, and fail to discover and solve the potential safety hazards of elevators in time, they may also be held accountable. Fu Jian also pointed out that family members should pay attention to the investigation progress of the police and market supervision departments, and if they want to hand over criminal examination and prosecution, family members can file an incidental civil lawsuit.
