Watching The Expo Reminds: "Conch" Is Used As A Slide, And The Sculpture Is "Injured"

Several children climb on the "conch" sculpture

In addition to the distinctive national pavilions in the Expo Park, some sculptures outside the pavilion are also popular places to attract visitors to take photos. However, the "conch" sculpture outside the Pacific Joint Pavilion has been put to the test these two days, because many children simply use these "conch" as a slide and have fun while some adults sit or lean on the ground to take photos.

The white "conch" is particularly prominent outside the Pacific Union Pavilion, whose main color is blue. The blue and white color combination makes many tourists stop to take photos. However, many children are more interested in "conch" than taking photos. Within half an hour of the reporter stopping to observe, there were no less than three children on the largest "conch". Some boys trotted up to the top of the "conch" and then slid down the slope, as if the "conch" were a slide.

Compared with some time ago, the coating on the surface of "Conch" has been mottled. As for this behavior of children, the staff also said that there were potential safety hazards.

It is understood that in the past two months since the opening of the Expo Park, there have been accidents in which children have been injured. Statistics from Shanghai Children's Medical Center alone show that there are more than 100 cases of discomfort or accidents of children referred from the park, some of which are caused by falls. Therefore, we remind the visiting parents to pay attention to their children's safety in the park. For some buildings that are not amusement facilities, parents had better remind their children not to be naughty and tamper with them to avoid accidents.

In addition, with the advent of the plum rain season, children who are naturally active and like to touch everywhere are easily infected with various bacteria. Parents and friends are also advised to take disinfectant wet paper towels.
