Man dead after fall from roller coaster
(Saturday, February 14, 2009) - A 37-year- Adults Forseeable Behavior ?
old man was killed after falling 30-40 feet
from a roller coaster at Star City theme park
in Pasay City, Philippines. The accident
happened on a compact, inverted-type
roller coaster called the Star Flyer. Park
officials say that the ride's safety system
was operating properly at the time of the
incident, and that it is impossible for
someone to fall from the ride unless he
intentionally eluded the restraint harness
before it was locked.
According to a ride attendant, the victim
had asked whether falling from the ride
would be fatal. Several witnesses reported
seeing the man escaping from his harness
as the ride began.
The man's restraint device was found in the
locked position after the incident.

Does Amusement Park Certification need
to consider even further Aspects ?
Rakvere, Estonia -- In May of 2007, a fire broke out on the "Tivoli
Tuur" ride while in operation. The ride, which is similar to the
Enterprise, was running at full speed when smoke and flames
engulfed the gondolas, burning them to a crisp. Thirty-seven people
were injured, most of who were treated for smoke inhalation and
burns. "The blaze took hold at about 11pm, and was well alight by
the time three fire crews reached the fun fair. By the time the fire
was extinguished at 12.16am, flames had destroyed five plastic
gondolas and the ride's electrical system," according to the Baltic
Times.

What is the further Development in Ride
Technology ?
• Higher Acceleration?
Existing standards
Research for Brain Acceleration
• Thrill Enhancement?
– Show Environment
– Interaction
– Combination of Rides with Audio and Movie

Technology of Rides
• Safety Records so far
– Extremely good safety records for Amusement Rides
concerning technical features despite of high press attention

Children‘s Behaviour
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or AD/HD)
is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. ADHD is primarily characterized
by "the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each
behavior occurring infrequently alone.“
