点评:⭐ DO NOT RECOMMEND – Dangerous, Negligent, and Zero Care for Safety ⭐
I took my 9 year old daughter (first time riding) on a trek with Karamu Trail Track, and it turned into an absolute nightmare due to reckless behavior from a staff member and a complete lack of safety protocols.
During the ride, an older gentleman instructor struck my daughter’s horse, causing it to bolt uncontrollably. She was thrown off and suffered a broken shoulder along with contusions to the right side of her body. Instead of immediately stopping the ride or checking to find a missing rider, the group ahead had no urgency in the matter, and the response from staff was beyond unacceptable:
❌ No first aid was provided—not even a basic assessment. There was no first aid kit available, meaning I had nothing to support my daughter’s injured arm. As a trained medical professional, I was shocked by the complete lack of safety measures. At the very least, a company offering treks should have basic first aid provisions readily accessible.
❌ The instructor pressured me to move my daughter, despite her being in severe pain and unable to move. I repeatedly told him something was wrong with her, yet he dismissed my concerns, insisting it was just a bruise and that she would be fine. I felt completely alone in this traumatic situation, with a total lack of empathy and disregard for what my daughter was truly experiencing.
❌ When I refused and insisted on assessing her properly, he became hostile.
❌ I asked him what their company procedures were around an emergency situation like this...he told me to "just get her back on the horse" despite her obvious injury.
❌ No rescue vehicle was sent, even though their website promises one if required.
❌ No ambulance was called, despite an obvious serious injury.
❌I was forced to walk for approximately 20 minutes with my daughter, who was in extreme pain. The conditions were incredibly hot, and she was struggling to walk due to being in shock. Much of the terrain was downhill, and she kept losing her footing. Both of us were distressed and overwhelmed by the situation.
❌ I had phoned them with an update on the situation and since then I have received zero follow-up since the accident.
To make matters worse, I overheard the older male instructor talking about me and my injured child behind our backs, instead of showing any concern or professionalism. The lack of empathy and accountability is disgraceful.
Their website states they provide first aid and emergency assistance—this is a complete lie. If your child gets injured on one of their treks, do not expect help. The staff are not trained in basic safety procedures, and their attitude toward injuries is shockingly negligent.
If I could give zero stars, I would. Avoid this place at all costs—it is unsafe, unprofessional, and dangerous. I will be reporting this incident to WorkSafe NZ.
翻译:⭐ 不推荐——危险、疏忽、对安全毫无顾忌 ⭐
我带着 9 岁的女儿(第一次骑马)参加了 Karamu Trail Track 的徒步旅行,由于工作人员的鲁莽行为和完全缺乏安全规程,这次徒步旅行变成了一场噩梦。
在骑行过程中,一位年长的绅士教练撞到了我女儿的马,导致它失控地狂奔。她被摔了下来,肩膀骨折,身体右侧挫伤。前面的团队没有立即停止骑行或检查是否有骑手失踪,而是对此事毫不在意,工作人员的回应令人无法接受:
❌ 没有提供急救——甚至没有基本的评估。没有急救箱,这意味着我没有任何东西可以支撑我女儿受伤的手臂。作为一名训练有素的医疗专业人员,我对完全缺乏安全措施感到震惊。至少,提供徒步旅行的公司应该随时提供基本的急救用品。
❌ 尽管我女儿疼痛难忍,无法移动,教练还是强迫我移动她。我反复告诉他她出了问题,但他却不顾我的担忧,坚称那只是擦伤,她不会有事的。在这种痛苦的情况下,我感到完全孤独,对我女儿真正经历的事情完全缺乏同情心,也无视她。
❌ 当我拒绝并坚持要对她进行适当评估时,他变得充满敌意。
❌ 我问他,他们公司在这种紧急情况下有什么处理程序……尽管她明显受伤,他还是告诉我“让她回到马上”。
❌ 没有派出救援车,尽管他们的网站承诺如果需要的话会派一辆。
❌ 尽管她明显受了重伤,但没有叫救护车。
❌ 我被迫和极度痛苦的女儿一起走了大约 20 分钟。天气非常热,她因受到惊吓而难以行走。大部分地形都是下坡,她不断失去平衡。我们俩都为这种情况感到苦恼和不知所措。
❌ 我曾打电话给他们,告知了最新情况,但自事故发生以来,我没有收到任何后续信息。
更糟糕的是,我无意中听到年长的男教练在背后谈论我和我受伤的孩子,而不是表现出任何关心或专业精神。缺乏同理心和责任感真是可耻。
他们的网站上说他们提供急救和紧急援助——这完全是谎言。如果你的孩子在他们的徒步旅行中受伤,不要指望得到帮助。工作人员没有接受过基本的安全程序培训,他们对伤害的态度令人震惊地疏忽。
如果可以给零分,我会给。不惜一切代价避开这个地方——它不安全、不专业、危险。我会向新西兰工作安全局报告此事。
