According to relevant news reports of "Shiyan City, Hubei Province" radio and television station, at noon on April 21, the curtain wall glass of an existing building (Danone emperor view) in Shiyan railway station, Hubei Province fell off and hit a 3-year-old child on the head. Despite emergency rescue, the 3-year-old boy died on April 22 due to his severe injury. It is observed that with the increase of existing buildings in China, most of the existing damages were counted afterwards, so it is impossible to predict the potential risk of existing building glass. Therefore, the necessity of safety maintenance and daily inspection has become increasingly prominent, which should be highly valued by government departments and industry associations at all levels.

The boy was smashed to death and his relatives were devastated

According to the video taken by citizens, the sidewalk was full of glass fragments in front of Danone Dijing building at Shiyan railway station.

Witness Wang Shilian: the old lady over there shouted, ouch, my baby. We quickly looked there and saw grandma hugging her head with blood all over her face.

Although the hospital tried to rescue him, the little boy died at 7:15 a.m. on the 22nd because of severe craniocerebral injury.

Qi Aihua, the little boy's grandmother: tears are dry. To tell the truth, when grandma greeted him as a child, it was hard to think of him.

Who should bear the responsibility for the falling of curtain wall glass?

Where does the falling glass come from and how to divide the accident responsibility?

At noon on April 22, a local reporter from Shiyan came to the site of the incident and saw that the glass curtain wall on the 14th floor was obviously missing. According to Ms. Hu, the head of the household, they were not at home at the time of the incident. They didn't know how the glass in the second bedroom fell.

After the incident, the police have conducted an inquest on the scene, and the cause of the incident is still under further investigation.

For the division of accident liability, the legal person said: first, the ownership of the glass curtain wall should be qualitative to determine whether it is a common, common or exclusive part of the owner. If it is a common part, all the owners of the unit building shall bear the liability for compensation, or the manager and user entrusted by all the owners shall bear the liability for compensation. If it is an exclusive part, the owner, manager and user of the exclusive part shall be liable for compensation. In recent years, due to the lack of safety inspection mechanism, there have been more and more frequent incidents of injuries caused by the falling of exterior wall materials in existing buildings. Similar cases include "the loss of exterior wall of buildings in Lishui, Zhejiang, killing people, a million yuan of compensation! All borne by the owner", "improper use of glue, the falling of glass in Changhong Century City, Mianyang, Sichuan", etc. the above events, China curtain wall network alwindoor Com related reports have introduced the basis of responsibility judgment and the final treatment.

The curtain wall shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with laws and regulations to prevent "lethal glass" from hurting people again

Professor Bao Yiwang of China Building Materials Research Institute once clearly pointed out in the article "physical examination" for building glass curtain wall to make the risk predictable "that the most fatal risks of glass curtain wall are two types: one is glass falling off; The other is glass self explosion. However, the most terrible thing is that glass self explosion is an inherent disease of tempered glass. Therefore, glass self explosion is called "glass cancer". If the curtain wall glass explodes and falls, the consequences will be unimaginable if casualties and property damage are caused.

Regulations on regular inspection and maintenance of collected doors, windows and curtain walls:

1、 One year after the completion and acceptance of the curtain wall project, a comprehensive inspection shall be conducted for the curtain wall project, and every five years thereafter. The inspection items shall include:

1) Whether the curtain wall has deformation, dislocation and looseness as a whole. If so, the corresponding concealed structure of this part shall be further inspected; Whether the main bearing members, connecting members and connecting bolts of the curtain wall are damaged, whether the connection is reliable, whether there is corrosion, etc;

2) Whether the glass panel is loose and damaged;
