At the beginning of the year there was a minor train derailing incident and it took several hours to get the injured down the mountain. They had to use a series of different transportation modes, taking trains, automobiles and helicopters. A safety deficit came to light that greatly cuts into the quality of the area as a tourist destination.
又如國際知名渡假勝地阿里山，由於意外救護系統嚴重不足，年初的一場小火車出軌事件，傷患運送下山都必須花上數小時，換搭列車、汽車、直昇機等多種交通工具，旅遊區出現安全缺口，旅遊品質也大打折扣。
