A tourist's heart-stopping discovery of loose screws on a cable fixture while climbing a cliff trail in May 2024, in Zhejiang province, eastern China, sparked concerns about the safety of adventure tourism. The incident, captured on video, shows the tourist navigating a nerve-wracking path hundreds of meters above the ground when he noticed the unsettling find.
The trail, which is equipped with steel cable fixtures every three meters, is designed to ensure the safety of climbers. However, the presence of loose screws raises questions about the maintenance and inspection procedures in place.
According to the trail manager, the steel cable undergoes regular maintenance and inspections. They also assured that even if ten screws were missing, the cable would remain secure.
The trail, which is particularly crowded during China's Golden Week holiday, has seen tourists stranded on the cliff for more than an hour due to the high volume of visitors. In case of emergencies, a pickup service is available at a cost of CNY 300 (USD 41 or EUR 38).
