When the wearer falls unconsciously or encounters an accidental collision

Shark clamp may become a "sharp knife"

Life-threatening

Xu Xuejun, chief physician of neurosurgery at Chengdu Second People's Hospital , said that not only shark clamps, but also accidents such as hitting the head on stones or sharp steps when falling to the ground can cause serious trauma.

"If a car starts suddenly or you fall off a bicycle , the force of the shark clamp will be concentrated on the back of the head , which may cause a skull fracture or pierce the scalp and enter the head. Compared with falling on a flat road, the force area of ​​this injury is small and the pressure is high, so the impact is very violent."

Xu Xuejun said that during the collision, the shark's grip corresponds to the cerebellum, which is the center of human life. If the amount of bleeding exceeds 15 ml, it will be life-threatening . There is also a situation where there is no bleeding in the brain after the collision, and the person can even stand up afterwards. In this case, we should also be vigilant, "It may be that the injured blood vessels have not had time to rupture, or the person may have high blood pressure, aneurysm, etc., which may induce cerebral hemorrhage after the injury."

Chinese firefighters have conducted multiple experiments on the power of shark clamps in the event of an accident. The video shows that firefighters tied the shark clamp to the head of a car seat and used a melon to simulate the scene of a human head being hit. As a result, the small shark clamp pierced deeply into the melon, leaving marks.

How to use shark clamps safely?

■ It is recommended to avoid using metal shark clips and choose plastic shark clips which are relatively less hard. However, plastic shark clips also have risks. Plastic materials may break after being subjected to huge impact force, and the sharp fragments formed after breaking may also pierce the scalp.

■ Try to avoid using shark clamps when exercising or bathing , such as running, skateboarding, rock climbing, trampoline, etc. During these activities, it is difficult for people to maintain balance all the time, and once they fall, serious consequences may occur.

■ Especially when driving or riding a bicycle, avoid using any form of hard clips on the back of your head, especially metal jewelry .

■ It is not recommended to wear shark clips in the bathroom or some slippery places .

How to provide first aid for penetrating injuries caused by sharp objects?

■ Call emergency number

Immediately call emergency numbers such as 119 and 120, accurately report the address for help, protect the scene, and wait for rescue.

■ Do not pull out sharp objects

While waiting for rescue, you must properly fix the exposed part of the inserted sharp object and do not pull it out blindly to avoid causing heavy bleeding and more serious organ damage.

■ Stop bleeding promptly

If a sharp object has penetrated the body and caused heavy bleeding, clean gauze, cotton cloth, etc. should be used to fill the wound to fill, compress and stop the bleeding.

■ Soothing emotions

Try to have someone familiar with the injured person comfort him or her to reduce pain. Reduce vibrations During the journey to the hospital, try to reduce vibrations to prevent the sharp weapon from shifting or penetrating deeper.
