doi:10.3901/JME.2019.24.001

Abstract

Abstract: Amusement rides are important facilities to improve the quality of people's spiritual and cultural life. In recent years, personal injury accidents have occurred occasionally in the process of taking high-speed and high-acceleration amusement rides. In order to reduce accidental injury of amusement rides, the physiological influence law of various accelerations on passengers during the operation of the amusement rides are revealed based on the analysis of the previous research results and the protection and control measures are given on the push-pull effect of acceleration, the effect of Coriolis acceleration and the neck vertebrate injures risk that directly affect the passengers safety. On this basis, the Z direction acceleration tolerance threshold are proposed in accordance with China's population physiological characteristics, which preliminarily solves the problem of acceleration risk control of amusement rides in China.

Key words: amusement rides, passenger, acceleration, tolerance, risk control
