Sudden drop in temperature
Many people are wrapped in down jackets
But what needs to be reminded is
Down jackets sometimes hide big hidden dangers
1. Wearing a down jacket and encountering an open flame:
will be lit!
The down jacket was put on the mannequin and zipped up. The reporter took a lighter and lit it on the bottom corner of the clothes, and the down jacket immediately jumped up. A flame appeared, and the fire slowly expanded and spread. In less than 5 minutes, the entire down jacket was burned, and even the zipper was burned and melted. .
Firefighters said that if this down jacket is worn on a person and comes into contact with skin containing oil, it may burn faster: “If a down jacket catches fire when worn on the body, and a person runs and airflow is generated, it will also Accelerate the burning speed of clothes.”
If a person is on fire, they should take off their clothes in time to put out the fire. If it is too late to take them off, If you want to wear clothes, you need to protect your face with your hands and roll on the spot.
2. Wearing a down jacket in the kitchen:
It will explode when exposed to a certain concentration of carbon monoxide!
Last year, media reported that an old man in Lishui, Zhejiang Province was packing things in the kitchen without starting a fire. Suddenly, there was a bang and his down jacket It exploded, and several “big holes” were blown out of the back of the clothes!
Firefighters said that the down jacket exploded because gas leaked in the kitchen.When the indoor carbon monoxide reaches a certain concentration, the friction between the down jacket and other objects will generate static electricity, causing an explosion.
Be careful when wearing a down jacket when going to such places, such as kitchens and gas stations where there may be gas leaks.
3. Washing machine to dry down jacket:
It may “explode”!
Ms. Gao, a citizen who lives in Shijiazhuang, was washing her down jacket in the washing machine at home. Suddenly, there was a “bang” sound, and the washing machine unexpectedly broke down. “Explosion”,Not only was the down jacket blown into several pieces,The cover of the clothes machine was blown off.
Down tends to gather together during washing, and the coating on the surface of the clothes to prevent the down from protruding is not conducive to the timely discharge of the air inside, so that during the dehydration processDown expands rapidly, exceeding the capacity of the machine and easily causing an “explosion”.
In addition, the friction between the down jacket and the liner of the washing machine during the high-speed drying process causes static electricity, which may also cause an “explosion”.
Down jackets should be washed by hand as much as possible. It is best not to wash them in a washing machine, especially the spin-drying step.
4. Children wear down jackets and sit in safety seats:
May be thrown out!
The safety seat in the car is for the safety of the child, but if you wear a down jacket and sit in the safety seat, the child may be thrown out!
Hunan Satellite TV once conducted an experiment: two dummies with similar height and weight to a 1-year-old baby were fixed on the safety seat, and one wore a down jacket. , none of them are worn.
The results showed that after the car hit the wall, the dummy wearing a down jacket was slid out of the seat, with its head hanging downward.
At the same impact speed, the dummy taking off the down jacket was firmly fixed in the seat, with only slight rebound, and No slippage.
Because children wear thicker down jackets, their sitting posture will change and the height of their shoulders will also become higher.
When a car has an accident and encounters a strong collision impact, although the clothes are fixed, the child is like a shelled egg in a bowl and may slip off.
If you buy down jackets produced by regular brands, you can be more assured of the quality. Of course, you should also pay attention to avoid some potential dangers!
