Approximately 100 participants took part in the training, including staff from Jinju City's Department of Forests and Gardens, forest leisure facility operators, and rescue personnel from the fire stations of Jinju, Sancheong, Uiryeong, Hamyang, Geochang, Hapcheon, and the 119 Special Response Team. The drill recreated realistic rescue and emergency response situations.

Participants concentrated on checking procedures for a range of assumed incidents: equipment malfunctions during rides, visitors isolated in mid-air, trolleys stopping and becoming immobile. They practiced the initial reporting of incidents, on-site control and safety assurance, use of rescue equipment for lifesaving, emergency first aid, and patient transport protocols.

Jinju City stated that, through this drill, it aims to further strengthen cooperation among related agencies and revise on-site response manuals, so that citizens and tourists can use forest leisure facilities more safely during the summer season.

An official from Jinju City commented, "Ensuring safety is the top priority for forest leisure facilities," and added, "We will continue to conduct regular inspections and repeated training to do our utmost to make 'Wolasan Forest of Jinju' as safe as possible."
