An accident occurred with the Yilan Green Expo shuttle bus, resulting in one death and one injury. The driver stated that he wanted to return to recharge due to low battery but lost brake control while going downhill. Experts pointed out that the shuttle bus requires both hydraulic and pneumatic systems to brake, and insufficient power could affect braking force. After the incident, the driver was released on bail for culpable homicide, and investigations indicated that basic safety checks should be conducted to prevent similar accidents from occurring again.

An accident occurred involving the Yilan Green Expo ride, resulting in one death and one injury. According to the driver, they attempted to return to charge due to insufficient battery power but were unable to brake while going downhill. Experts state that these types of rides typically require both hydraulic and pneumatic pressure to brake effectively; if the battery is running low, it will affect the operation of the air compressor, leading to insufficient braking force.

The accident occurred on the afternoon of the 4th, suspected to be a tragedy caused by brake failure, prompting the deployment of a tow truck to lift the overturned ride. Although the park announced it would be closed that day, many tourists, unaware of the situation, visited the park only to find it was closed. When reporters spoke with the ride operators, they avoided discussing the details of the accident, only stating that the vehicles had been inspected. The driver has been released on bail of 60,000 yuan for suspected negligent homicide.

The driver involved in the accident mentioned that brake failure occurred due to reduced air pressure, coupled with insufficient battery power, resulting in an inability to brake effectively while going downhill. The ride is an electric vehicle that relies on both air pressure and hydraulic pressure to stop. An associate professor from Ming Chi University of Technology's Department of Mechanical Engineering pointed out that larger vehicles require greater vacuum or air pressure assistance for braking. If the battery is insufficient, it could lead to inadequate braking force, preventing safe stops while driving.

Experts stress the importance of conducting basic checks before hitting the road, ensuring to confirm battery levels, air lines, and brake hydraulic lines while also checking for any air or oil leaks. Considering the large number of tourists during the long holiday, vehicles were continuously in operation, but if power supply was low, it could affect braking, leading to this unfortunate incident.
