Iqiniso lokuthi ukuphepha epaki yendaba
Ukhona umuntu owake wafa endaweni yokuhamba epaki? Akuvamile, kodwa kwenzeka.
Ngo-Julayi 2017, kwashona umuntu oyedwa kwathi abangu-6 balimala ngesikhathi ukuhamba kwe-Fireball kungasebenzi eHood State Fair. Lokhu ukufa kwamuva okuhlobene nokugibela ipaki yokuzijabulisa.
Ngo-Agasti 2016, umfana oneminyaka engu-3 ubudala wabulawa ngemuva kokuwa ngaphandle kweRlolo Coaster, i-roller roller coaster e- Idlewild epaki yasePennsylvania. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambili, umfana oneminyaka engu-10 ubudala waxoshwa kuVerruckt , i-coaster yamanzi eyakhokhiswa njengama-slide omhlaba omude kunawo wonke, eSchlitterbahn Water Park eKansas City, Kansas.
I-Verruckt isivele ivaliwe unomphela.
Ngo-2015, indoda eyayilinga ukuthola umakhalekhukhwini wayo endaweni evinjiwe yashaywa yi-Raptor roller coaster eCedar Point eSandusky, e-Ohio. Futhi ngonyaka ka-2015, intombazane eneminyaka engu-10 ubudala yafa ngemuva kokulahlekelwa yilapho ihamba nge-Revolution ku- Six Flags Magic Mountain eCalifornia. I-coroner yaseLos Angeles kamuva yaqaphela ukuthi intombazane yafa ngenxa yezimbangela zemvelo ezingahambelani ne-roller coaster.
Ngo-2013, owesifazane ovakashele ama-Six Flags Over Texas washona ekufeni kwakhe eTexas Giant, ekhokhwa njenge-coaster yokugubha kakhulu ekhuni lomhlaba. Ngalo lolo suku, isikebhe esihamba nge- Shoot the Rapids eCedar Point sanyuka, sabala abantu abayisithupha.
Izihloko ezinjengalezi (kanye nezinduna ezihlelwe kahle) zenza abantu abaningi bazibuze ngokuphepha kwepaki yepakthi yokugijima, kufaka phakathi ama-coasters e-roller abonakala ephakeme kakhulu, esheshayo futhi ehamba phambili ngonyaka odlule.
Izibalo zokufa kwe-Roller Coaster
I-International Association of Amusement Parks kanye nezindawo zezokuvakasha (IAAPA) ibonisa ukuthi ukufa kwabantu abahamba nge-coaster abavamile kakhulu. Abantu abangaba yizigidi ezingama-335 beminyaka yonke bephephile baqedile ukugibela i-park ye-1.7 billion yepaki ngonyaka ngamunye, kufaka phakathi izivakashi ezingama-83 ezikhungweni zamanzi ezingu-1 000.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi ithuba lokulimala kabi ngesikhathi sokugibela epaki elihleliwe e-US cishe liyi-1 kwezigidi ezingama-24.
Ngonyaka ka-2014, ngonyaka odlule lapho i-IAAPA ibike khona idatha, kwakukhona ukulimala okuhlobene nokuhamba okuyi-1,150 kumakhansela ahleliwe. Leli nani lihle kakhulu kusukela ekulimaleni okungu-2 044 ngo-2003. (I-IAAPA ayihlukanisi phakathi kokugibela emapaki namanzi amapaki okuzijabulisa.)
Ngokwesifundo se-2013 seSikhungo Sokulimala Nokucwaninga Nenqubomgomo ku-National Children's Hospital, ukulimala kwekhanda nentamo kwakuvame kakhulu (28%), kulandela izikhali (24%), ubuso (18%) nemilenze (17%) . Ukulimala okunamandla kwakubuye kutholakale kakhulu (29%), kulandelwa izinhlanzi kanye neziphuzo (21%) zokusika (20%) namathambo aphukile (10%).
Imithethonqubo yokuphepha ye-Theme Park
Ngenkathi iKhomishane yokuThengwa komkhiqizo wabathengi ilawula ukugibela okuphathekayo njengalabo otholayo emazingeni kahulumeni nakwase-county, akukho ukuqondiswa okusemthethweni kokugibela okuhleliwe kuma-parks ekhanda. Ngenkathi ukugibela i-park park kuhlolwe njalo ngabahloli basekhaya nabangaphakathi, imboni ikakhulukazi ilawulwa yiyo.
Wonke amapaki ehloko agibele ngokuhlala unomphela, kumele aveze ukulimala okuhlobene nokuhamba okudinga ukuhlala ngokushesha esibhedlela okungenani amahora angu-24.
Amapaki wezinhloko axoxisana nalesi silungiselelo sokuzibika ukuze sigweme ukuhlola okujwayelekile. Okubi nakakhulu, nakuba kunamazinga omkhakha, akuwona umthetho kuwo wonke amazwe.
Izinhlangano ezinjengeSikhungo Sezokulimala Nezinqubomgomo, esihlola ukulimala kwezingane e-United States, sitshele ukudalwa kwe-database kazwelonke noma isimiso sikazwelonke esibekwa khona ukuze sikwazi ukulandelela futhi sithole isithombe sangempela sezingozi zama-rollers coasters .
Izingozi ze-Roller Coaster Risk
Ama-coasters amaningi okugwedla kanye nokugibela okujabulisayo kufaka izixwayiso ukuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe nabantu abanesimo senhliziyo noma ezinye izindaba zezempilo akufanele bagibele. Nakhu okumele ukwazi mayelana nama-roller coasters kanye nobungozi bokushaya isifo.
