Question 32639 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Taché alerts the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports to the risks generated by the lack of supervision of so-called “survival” courses and activities. On August 11, 2020, Ulysse Tâm Hà Duong, a 25-year-old young man who was planning a military career, suddenly died following the ingestion of a toxic plant during a survival course that was “supervised” and presented as “all audiences” by its organizer. He has since been indicted for involuntary manslaughter and involuntary injury. The media coverage of this tragic affair has made it possible to highlight and draw attention to the danger caused by the lack of control and supervision of this type of practice. It is a real social phenomenon: formerly a niche activity practiced by specialists, survival courses have become widely democratized in the over the last few years. The success of amateur practice has given rise to diversification and an uncontrolled explosion in the offer for camps, courses and survivalist stays of all kinds. Also, today we are faced with a real legal vacuum! If special skills and all kinds of certifications are required to run summer camps, teach sailing, parachuting or be a mountain guide, no controls exist for survival courses. However, when they are poorly organized, by people unfit to supervise groups in risky environments and motivated solely by financial considerations, this type of training can endanger the lives of the participants. Managing such activities requires comprehensive and precise skills and competencies. Also, to avoid further drama, he asks her what are the measures envisaged to fill this legal void and thus precisely define what survival is, the security perimeters of these practices, verify and control the ability of organizers to ensure the safety of the people for whom they are responsible.
