The external drainage system of some old-fashioned residential buildings is prone to the formation of icicles and icicles under the eaves. When they fall from a high altitude, they form "falling ice". The power of the ice drop is directly proportional to the mass of the ice and the height of the fall, the greater the mass and the higher the height, the more powerful it is. Falling ice from a height the size of an egg can also cause people**
How to prevent people from falling from high altitudes?
When you go out, stay away from buildings with icicles hanging from the eaves. As you pass through the cavern, keep an eye out for ice picks above your head.
Clear the snow from the roof in time to prevent the snow from turning into ice picks when the temperature warms up. For external air conditioners, range hood pipes and solar water heaters, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent the formation of ice picks by flowing water. If the roof drain pipe fails to connect to the ground, pay attention to prevent ice picks from hanging in the air and falling and injuring people.
