The Spring Festival was supposed to be a time for family happiness, but a tragedy that occurred in Weishi County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province has attracted widespread attention from the society. Lele, a 10-year-old boy, was accidentally hit in the head by a firework called "Wolf Howl" during the Spring Festival.
According to ** reports, Lele was suddenly killed when crossing the street with his family, and a "wolf howl" firework flying out of the crowd hit him directly in the back of the head with amazing speed and power, bursting instantly, causing a serious head injury. Despite the best efforts of his family and the huge amount of money spent on treatment, unfortunately, this sudden accident finally deprived Le Lesheng of his rights.
The "Wolf Howl" fireworks are actually a powerful version of the "Sky Monkey", which is loved by some consumers because of its extremely high flight altitude and brilliant fireworks. However, the small wooden stick contained inside this firework resembles a sharp arrow during high-speed launch, and its potential danger cannot be ignored. Lele's case once again reveals the huge safety risks that can be brought about by such fireworks products, especially when users fail to follow the correct discharge method, which can cause unpredictable personnel**.
With the Lele incident, there have been calls to strengthen the safety supervision and consumer education of fireworks and firecrackers. Regardless of whether the perpetrator did it intentionally or improperly, he or she shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility in accordance with the law. From the perspective of criminal law, if it intentionally endangers public safety, it will face severe criminal penalties; If it is a negligent act, it may constitute the offence of negligence causing death. In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, regardless of the subjective state of the person responsible, the victim's family has the right to claim compensation for economic losses, and at the same time, the manager of the premises involved may also bear supplementary liability for failing to fulfill the safety and security obligations.
Recently, injuries caused by fireworks and firecrackers have been exposed in many places across the country, making fireworks safety once again the focus of society. Local authorities and regulatory authorities should take this opportunity to further standardize the fireworks market access mechanism, strictly investigate the sale of illegal, over-specification or potential safety hazards of fireworks and firecrackers, and at the same time increase the popularization of safe fireworks knowledge, guide the public to treat traditional customs rationally, and ensure the safety and orderliness of celebrations.
In conclusion, Lele's unfortunate death is a wake-up call for us, reminding the whole society to pay attention to and participate in the safety management of fireworks and firecrackers. Families, schools and all sectors of society should share the responsibility of education, especially guardians should always be vigilant to prevent children from misusing or abusing fireworks. Only through strict law enforcement, effective regulation and broad social mobilization can we truly reduce the occurrence of similar tragedies and ensure that every citizen can celebrate the festive season in a safe and harmonious environment.
