During the recent Dragon Boat Festival celebrations in China, a tragic incident occurred when a female dragon boat team capsized during training, resulting in the deaths of 3 individuals, including a 24-year-old participant who had only mentioned to her mother about attending an event. One victim's husband mourned that his wife had initially not wanted to participate but was persuaded by friends, leading to an irreversible tragedy. The incident, reported by Chongqing authorities, resulted in the cancellation of a dragon boat competition and highlighted safety concerns such as inexperienced steering and lack of safety personnel on site.
