What is the event fuse mechanism?
The Gansu Marathon event triggered the shock of the whole sports industry, and also made relevant departments strengthen the evaluation of the risk of sports events, and even opened the fuse mechanism of sports events. Many people are confused when they see this fuse mechanism. What does this mean? In fact, the fuse mechanism is mostly used in the stock industry. In order to control the trading risk of stocks, futures or other financial derivatives, once the price range of the day exceeds the limit of the range, in order to reduce the trading risk, a fuse mechanism will be adopted to stop trading. However, this term also appears in other large-scale events. For example, the Japanese Olympic Games adopted a fuse mechanism because of the epidemic, and the competition was postponed. Prior to this, China found that passengers were infected with COVID-19 virus, and the flight on that day adopted a fuse mechanism.
Is this method feasible?
Can the establishment of fuse mechanism really ensure the safety of cross-country events? In recent years, cross-country running, an extreme sport, has developed wildly in China, but many cross-country running still can't meet the standard, the safety of athletes can't be guaranteed, and the organizers can't cope with emergencies at all. In recent years, every extreme sports competition will cause casualties, but it is not as serious as this Gansu marathon, so it has not been reported. The establishment of the event fuse mechanism may achieve certain results in the short term, but once the Gansu Marathon slowly dies down over time, there will definitely be slack.
Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy development of extreme sports, it is necessary to formulate industry standards, strictly control the risk of events, and conduct a separate audit of such competitions. Once unqualified places are found, the competition must be cancelled. In addition, the organizer must reach a certain scale to undertake.
