It is very sad news during the Dashain festival in Nepal. I read some better equipment could prevent this kind of accidents but apparently they are very expensive. May be government authorities and some organizations liase with equipment manufacturers and obtain some equipments that would prevent such accidents in future and save lives. May be certain percentage of fair would go towards paying for such equipments.
