Yesterday, police investigated SEGA on charges of professional negligence resulting in the death.
According to officials, the fatal accident at Joypolice Tokyo (Odaiba Tokyo) is becoming a serious trouble for SEGA. As you know, the amusement establishment section of SEGA is main shaft of rebuilding management of the company, but this accident might damage their image even being the game production company.
There is concern that "By the response to this time, for not only SEGA, but it might degrade the brand image of whole of group including Samy" in game industry.

Apr. 18, Tokyo Joypolice, the lamish fat man rode the attraction named "VIVA!-SKYDIVING" without the seat belt and fell from his seat 5 meters above the ground, and died.
In the immediate future, Tokyo Joypolice is suspending its business.

Games like these are ment to take the risk of fatal injury out of the picture. ONLY stupid people can put that risk back into it.

"VIVA!-SKYDIVING" huh? I gotta try that. Sounds fun.

Yeah, I heard about this. I generally agree that the park wasn't entirely to blame. Could be bad for Sega in the long run though =/

... The fault lies with attendants and the fat dude. Not Sega. That they're blaming Sega for this is... sheer idiocy.

:dohtwo: That's really bad...I blame both the fat guy and the attendants. I mean, if you're so fat that the bloody seatbelt won't even fit around you, don't even get on the ride! And why would anyone let him on; they could obviously see it wasn't safe!

oohhh boy... bad news.
I hope Sega survives this mess. But since the reason for failure is clear, the confusion shouldn't last too long.

I think the biggest problem is that an image of company of SEGA might be damaged by this.
SEGA is rebuilding corporations now, and if Japanese society think they are irresponsible as company, SEGA will lose many sponsors that may be able to help their scheme.
They need to make essential improvement of the field management to recover the confidence.
