壹、前言
我國地處亞熱帶氣候區,每當進入夏、秋 2 季,往往酷熱難耐,又因四面環海且境內溪河眾多,
一般民眾多喜好從事各類水上活動,消除惱人暑氣,更讓「戲水」活動成為夏、秋兩季民眾戶外活動
的熱門首選。
加上 7 至 9 月適逢各級學校放暑假期間,然因目前國內相關單位所規劃的合格安全水域休閒場所
容量有限,莘莘學子轉往河川、溪流或湖海等水域戲水,在炎陽炙人下無視於「禁止戲水活動」等警
告標示牌,就在不小心、忽視警告禁制標語及缺乏正確戲水觀念、忽略水流潮汐變化及隱藏暗流、未
能注意體能狀態是否足以負荷水域環境變化等情況下,傳出不幸溺水意外事件。
Taiwan is in the sub-tropical/tropical climate zone and gets unbearably hot in summer and autumn. It is
surrounded by water and has many rivers and streams. In summer and autumn many people play in water to
cool down.
July-September is also summer vacation for schools. As the safety-certified places for water leisure have limited
capacity, many youngsters go to play in rivers, streams, the sea or lakes and pay no heed to the “No playing in
the water” signs in their eagerness to escape from the heat. During this time, drownings frequently occur as a
result of carelessness, ignoring the warning signs, lack of correct ideas about how to play safely in water, failure
to pay attention to changes in tide and current or hidden currents, or overestimating of physical ability.
經統計歷年各級消防機關執行救溺勤務數
據,每年溺水事故發生地點皆以溪河及海邊占最
多數,舉 105 年為例,其中溪河溺水人數 315 人
(占全年溺水人數 42.6%),海邊溺水人數 161
人(占全年溺水人數 21.8%),兩者合計達 476
人,已占全年溺水案件 739 人之 64.4%。分析其
原因,不外乎「溪河」及「海邊」已成為民眾在
炎炎夏日戶外活動的熱門首選。
