Der Turm stand wohl da wo jetzt die Schiffschaukel steht, oder?

Zitat Tokyo Dome Hit With First Fatality

A Japanese man died Sunday after falling several meters from an amusement park ride at Tokyo Dome City Attractions. It was the first-ever fatality resulting from an attraction at the amusement park, but follows a string of other accidents at the park in recent months.

A 34-year-old man was believed to have been up to eight meters off the ground when he was flung from the seat of the tea cup-cum-roller-coaster ride called the Spinning Coaster Maihimeas the cart jolted around a curve, before thudding onto the cement ground. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead about two hours later.

The amusement park section of the Tokyo Dome City, a sprawling entertainment complex that includes a baseball stadium and a bowling alley, was closed for the second day Monday and park representatives said it is uncertain when it will reopen for business. The entertainment mecca overall attracts some 30 million visitors each year, but Tokyo Dome City said it does not measure how many customers specifically visit the park's 19 attractions.

Tokyo Dome City Attractions spokesman Tatsuya Koyama said the cause of the accident is still unknown and investigations by park officials and the local police remain ongoing. Preliminary media reports suggest the ride attendant did not properly check to see if the safety bar that clicks into place across a passenger's lap was properly locked.

The fatality is the third accident to occur at the amusement park in the last three months in what has been an unusual spurt of such incidents. In November, a female worker lost three fingers while conducting a maintenance check at the top of the Tower Hacker, an 80-meter-tall free-falling thrill ride.

A 34-year-old man died Sunday after falling from an amusement park ride at Tokyo Dome City Attractions in Bunkyo Ward, police said.

The victim, who was pronounced dead at a hospital two hours after the accident, was not immediately identified.

The man was on the Spinning Coaster Maihime, a roller-coaster ride with revolving cars, when he fell at around 12:40 p.m. Sunday.

The Spinning Coaster reaches a speed of 39.6 kph as it cruises the 305-meter-long track. The man is believed to have fallen from a height of 7 to 8 meters.

The accident is the third to hit the park in as many months.

In November, a 26-year-old female worker lost three fingers while checking wires and motors at the top of the popular Tower Hacker attraction at 9:28 a.m. before the park opened.

The Tower Hacker is an 80-meter-tall tower that lifts riders to the top, then lets them free-fall vertically at almost 100 kph. In December, parts from the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster injured a girl on the ground.

During a news conference later Sunday, an official from the operating company said workers found no problems during equipment checks Sunday morning.

Visitors to the amusement park, including many children, were shocked and scared Sunday after seeing the man lying on the ground.

I heard a big heavy bang and went (closer to the ride). Then I saw that a man who had fallen was being given CPR, said a 39-year-old man from Ota Ward.

My children saw it together with me. We dont want to take anymore rides, he said.

Witnesses painted a chaotic scene of police officers, first-responders and onlookers milling about in disbelief.

The vehicle moves while spinning irregularly. I didnt think you could fall off as long as you hung on to the safety bar on your waist, but this accident is scary, said Yutaro Yamaguchi, 20, who had ridden the ride that morning.

The Metropolitan Police Department suspects the ride started moving before the man, who was large, had been fully secured.

Since operating the ride doesnt depend on the status of the safety bars, the roller coaster can launch whether they are locked or not, park officials said.

The Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry sent four officials to check for structural problems or safety control defects.
