Abstract

The cases of mountain marathon accidents in the past five years at home and abroad are combined with the domino theory of accident causation theory to analyze mountain cross-country marathon events. Conclusion: Equipment problems are the main cause of accidents, athletes' strain response is the decisive factor leading to accidents, and a sound rescue system is an important guarantee to avoid accidents; hidden danger investigation includes emergency training for emergencies, inspection of athletes' mandatory equipment, and inspection of guarantee measures; prevention of accidents requires enhanced awareness of risk prevention, more integrated development and implementation of policy requirements; experience learning includes education and training, assurance mechanisms, safety measures, epidemic prevention and control, emergency plans and communication systems; prevention of emergencies includes improving prevention mechanisms, holding outdoor safety education and training seminars, and pressing for accountability mechanisms.
