CCTV News: I wonder if you have noticed that all seats are not equipped with seat belts when taking the high-speed train. The high-speed train is so fast, why are there no seat belts?

The main reason why you don't wear seat belts when taking a high-speed rail EMU is that the high-speed rail EMU runs very smoothly.

Wang Xincheng, a train-mounted mechanic of the Fuzhou EMU Section of the Nanchang Bureau of the National Railway, introduced that the EMU is running at a speed of 300Km/h on the Fuzhou High-speed Railway. A coin is erected by the window. You can see that the coin can be easily stood up. This standing coin did not fall even when the EMU met and passed through the tunnel.

The main reason why high-speed rail EMUs can operate smoothly is that the railway tracks are flat. The surface of the rail is polished to millimeters accurately. When the EMU is running, it is like running on the flat ground. There are various shock absorbers under the body, so it is difficult to cause bumps when the EMU is running.

The smooth operation of the high-speed rail is also related to the driving skills of the EMU drivers. When the EMU is started and stopped, the driver of the EMU will slowly accelerate and decelerate, and the EMU will not "brake" during operation. Therefore, when passengers are on the bus, they cannot even feel that the EMU is accelerating or "braking".

In addition, the designed value of the railway curve radius is greater than 5,000 meters. When the EMU turns, passengers can hardly feel the centrifugal force tilted to the left or right. The whole journey is very stable when riding in the EMU, and even if passengers walk in the carriage, they rarely feel obvious shaking. The seat design of the high-speed rail focuses more on anti-collision performance, which strengthens the safety protection of passengers when the train is running at high speed. Which sports equipment cannot be brought on the high-speed rail?

The 2025 Spring Festival holiday will be 8 days, and the Asian Winter Games will be opened next month. Many sports enthusiasts will choose to start their sports journey with sports equipment. However, be careful that some sports equipment cannot be brought on high-speed rail. Some time ago, "You can't bring table tennis on the high-speed train" became a hot topic among netizens. Let me tell you here that the old version of table tennis balls made of celluloid material cannot be brought on the train. Because it is particularly flammable, the new version of the ping-pong ball with the logo can be brought. So besides table tennis, what other sports equipment cannot be brought on the high-speed rail? Each item carried by the EMU shall not exceed 130 cm and 20 kg

The "Rail Passenger Transportation Regulations" stipulates that the passengers are responsible for the care of the items they carry. Passengers must properly place their carry-on products and shall not affect the use and safety of public spaces. The weight and specifications of the free items each person are: 10 kg for children, 35 kg for diplomats, and 20 kg for other passengers. The sum of the outer dimensions of each item shall not exceed 160 cm, and the rod-shaped items shall not exceed 200 cm, but the weight of each item shall not exceed 130 cm, and the weight of each item shall not exceed 20 kg.

Ding Shouguo, the stationmaster of Daqing West Station of the Harbin Bureau of the National Railway, introduced that folding bicycles within the allowed size range can be carried on high-speed rail, but be careful to use hard packaging to complete packaging, and do not disassemble the packaging in the station and on the train to avoid accidental damage to passengers during transportation. When taking the EMU train, skis, snow poles, hiking poles and other items, they should not exceed 130 cm after storage, and they can be taken on the train if they are properly packaged. Some bats, clubs, etc. are not allowed to be carried by blunt objects. Some passengers can be consigned to transport some questions. Why can't they carry rod-shaped carry items such as bats, billiards, hockey clubs and other rod-shaped carry items that meet the specifications?

Zou Jialin, duty teacher of Daqing West Station of the Harbin Bureau of National Railways, introduced that because bats, billiards, hockey sticks, etc. are blunt weapons and pose certain risks to the safety of passengers, it is prohibited to carry them and can be checked. Blade Martial Arts Knife. Swords and other blades are over 60 mm long are not allowed to be carried

Similar include martial arts knives and swords and other dangerous sports equipment. If the blade has been opened and the blade length exceeds 60 mm, it is prohibited to carry it and cannot be shipped. If the blade is not cut, properly packaged and confirmed by the railway police, if it meets the safety conditions, you can take it on the car. Carrying sports equipment must meet the weight requirements

Sports equipment must also meet the weight requirements. According to regulations, ordinary passengers can carry 20 kilograms of items for free. Therefore, sports dumbbells that do not exceed 20 kilograms can be carried on the car. If this limit exceeds this, you need to check in.

The railway department reminds sports enthusiasts to understand the relevant regulations on items they carry in advance when traveling. If you have any questions, you can also call the railway 12306 customer service number for consultation, so as not to delay your itinerary.
