China’s Cliff-Climbing ‘Spider Woman’ Detonated Abroad

Recently, a video taken by CNN & BBC detonated the foreign social web. It describes a story about climbing cliffs without ropes or any other tools in Miao ancestry. This is not a recreational activity but a traditional pass down for hundreds of years.

 

The woman in the video named Luo Dengping from the Miao minority group, who has been climbing with no ropes in this part of Guizhou province, Chine, for centuries. It was local custom to climb these steep cliffs and place coffins of deceased relatives there. Villagers later used these skills to collect swallow dung for fertilizer, and herbs as medicine.

 

Many visitors came and wanted to see how we collected the herbs. They paid us to show them how we did it. We thought that would be an easier way to make money. Since more Chinese user Western medicine, climbers can no longer make enough money selling herbs.

 

Some villagers are now hired by the local tourism board to do no-rope climbing performances for tourists. They are known as “spider men” in Chine and make 900RMB ($137) a month base salary, with 0.3RMB commission for each tourist through the gate. They climb 100m up the cliffs two times a day and have four days off every month.

 

It is please news that we let the world know more about our minority activity. But some villagers do not have a strong body like a young man anymore. It is dangerous when climbing if they are physical overdraft. Relative government should notice this phenomenon and make some protective measures for them.

 

For safety sake, our normal person should prepare enough when we do some outdoor excise. We should wear professional equipment like safety vest with reflective tape or reflective heat transfer film, special shoes and etc. These equipment not only can avoid hurting but also can help if something wrong happens unexpectedly.

Reflective heat transfer film is used in backpack

The reflective backpack is a very important piece of equipment for a motorcyclist. As motorcycles do not have luggage, it is the most practical option to take with you to work or to take a trip. At the same time the backpack cannot interfere with driving, cannot open itself, and cannot cause danger to the driver during the fall. Today we change the motorcycle backpack from the top shelf – Mach 5. This is one of the more expensive proposals for motorcyclists on the market; the question is worth the price?

No Drag Mach 5 is a modified version of No Drag Mach 3. The backpack has gained the capacity to expand its capacity, additional shoeboxes, viewfinder and some other nice extras. In addition, the Mach 5 has the ability to carry a 15-inch laptop, a helmet hanger and the option of folding one of the arms for easier removal of the backpack.

Reflective Material used and finish: The backpack is made of extruded outer shell that gives it a distinctive shape. The carrier system is made of hard-wearing synthetic fabrics. The inside pockets for the shoes and viewfinder are made of mesh and soft flip. The whole is done very carefully and aesthetically. The highest quality materials used and the quality of workmanship make after half a year of use on the backpack, apart from minor scratches, practically no signs of use.

Comfort and daily use: I would use the comfort of this product in two areas. The first would be backpacking, the second using the backpack alone. As for the ride, it’s hard to get a better motorcycle backpack, and I’ve had plenty of backpacks to ride on two wheels. The Mach 5 is perfectly placed on the back, with straps that fit well into the driver’s silhouette, even if the driver’s jacket is aerodynamic. The backpack fulfills the manufacturer’s promises. It does not interfere with driving; it does not generate turbulence and tug. 250 km / h on a naked motorcycle is sufficient speed to be convinced.

The Ohio has a great fastening system that prevents the rucksack from opening while riding (it is located on the driver’s back). The pockets were designed so that nothing would happen to them. Here we come to the second aspect of using a backpack. Hard casing and fixed form have their limitations. Even with the backpack which has reflective heat transfer film zoom option, the outer shell will never fit into your luggage. Either it is housed or not. Well protected locks require a bit more attention and care in handling. They are not as readily available as in a classic backpack, so efficient packaging and unpacking Mach 5 requires a bit of practice. The laptop pocket is great, the left shoulder strap for easy removal of the backpack is a real revelation (why other manufacturers did not come up with it?), and the helmet fixing system works well, the organizer squeaking is a bit too shallow.

The No Drag Mach 5 is a great idea for a backpack of everyday use during commute to work, or for short trips. It works best on sports and sport-tourist motorbikes. Due to the form has its limitations, but great quality convinced even unconvinced. The only real minus … is the price. Nearly 800 are quite a lot.

Road safety: Reflective tape on school bags

The Road Safety wants to make mandatory the fluorescent bands and reflective tape on children’s school bags.

Eighty-six children less than 12 years were killed on the roads of France in 2015 and 4295 were injured. Facing this poor record, the Road safety calls for a general mobilization through a new campaign “Zero children killed on the roads of France.”

Among the measures unveiled by the association to stop this mortality is the requirement to include fluorescent strips and reflective heat transfer tape on all school satchels. When night falls early, the children would be well visible at 150 meters instead of 30 meters. “With any law, safety devices would be widespread, fairly large and mostly well placed in front, behind and to the side,” said the Parisian Anne, President of the Association Road Safety.

“A third of young people killed on the journey from home to school”

This measure was inspired by the German model where 20% of the area of school backpacks is covered with reflective tape, and the schoolchildren are required to wear safety vest on way to school. The device seems to work: there are proportionately fewer children killed on German roads in France.

Philippe, the accident specialist children in accident Laboratory of Biomechanics and analysis of human behavior (Lab), “all we can do to reduce child mortality is worth taking.”Especially that “a third of young pedestrians injured or killed on the road is on the home-school journey.”

Secure management of all pedestrian crossings

The Road safety also requires a whole lot of other measures including a VAT rate of 5.5% for car seats against 20% today and generalization of pedestrian collision avoidance systems on all new vehicles.

It also wants a speed limit to 30 km/h around schools, gyms, parks and public gardens and secure management of all pedestrian crossings with zebra and a stop line one meter before passing. Also the government would give each schoolchild a reflective vest for free in order to enhance the safety awareness.
