In Khabarovsk, slides are being removed: other regions are also facing problems with winter entertainment for children.
The central district was left without slides KhabarovskAccording to local media, the slides were removed after parents complained about their child being injured there. However, other area residents are not happy with this and are demanding the return of the children's entertainment.
"They've removed ALL the slides, swings, and carousels! Thank you, kind person! Where can we go with the kids now, not in the crowded place? There were six slides here!", - residents of the area are indignant.
Some blame the victim's parents for the incident, claiming they weren't keeping an eye on their child. People are also perplexed as to why there weren't so many injuries before. Meanwhile, a similar situation exists in other parts of the city: they've simply stopped building amusement rides for the winter.
- Now, if a child is hurt, everyone is to blame except him and his parents, — write Khabarovsk residents.
— Well, if parents don't watch their children and just sit on their phones. And then they look for someone to blame, — other supporters of the slides comment on the situation.
They're checking structures and in Tomsk — also after a child was injured on a spontaneous slide. Primorsky Krai on local channels too complain for injuries to children while sledding. Winter slides were removed in one district. IrkutskResidents even published petition to bring back the traditional winter activity for children.
At the same time for the slides there is a GOST — it specifies the positions in which one can descend, what the lighting should be, and the wood for the structures. As stated in comments DVhab urbanist Denis KorotkovThere's even a requirement for ambulances to be on duty there. Due to these numerous requirements, the number of places with slides in cities is decreasing every year.
