Fukuoka – Japan is one of the countries in the world where the number of suicides is the highest. Referring to data from the Japanese National Police, there were 21,321 suicides in Japan in 2017.
A place that often becomes the scene of suicide is in front of the station platform. The place is often found by pbadengers who drop on the railway.
The Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau, Handa Hiroshi, admitted that this had often happened. Since 2005, however, many railway operators have started to install doors or mosquito net door at the station to prevent pbadengers from pbading from the edge of the wharf to the railway.
"Indeed, in the subway, we had the habit of making several suicides over a year.But after the installation of the platform edge door, it was reduced The partitioning of the platform has just been completed and it was an action to prevent suicide, "he said. Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau, Fukuoka, Japan, Wednesday (11/28/2018).
According to him, the installation of the Peron Edge door is effective enough to reduce the careless acts of train users who wish to access the railway. Although not all stations have gates on the wharf, there is still room for people to pbad through the platform edge door, for example by climbing.
To optimize accidents on the platform, Japanese train operators also install emergency buttons and cargo detectors on the track. Thus, if it is known that pbadengers accidentally jump or fall on the railway, other pbadengers can immediately press the emergency button located near the platform of the station.
The button will send a signal directly to the train in the direction of the station. Then, once the signal received by the driver, the train will be braked within a radius of 200 meters.
"Also at the train station are always advisable, do not just go in the railway even if objects fall. No Entrance. So there is a yellow line that can not be crossed, "he said.
Japan itself has strict rules for people who try to commit suicide on the railways or in public places, who will face fines from their families. Suicide at a train station or other public space can cause damage to other pbadengers whose time has to be disrupted.
"For distant trains, generally, the author will be required to pay compensation, but for us, in such cases, we have never claimed compensation for that person, even though, by law, we We have the right to sue the perpetrator, but we are dealing with it in a case. " by case, "said Ono.
In Japan, suicide is caused by various reasons. Some reasons that Japanese people "like" to end their lives, for example, when they feel stuck with no solution to the problem, believe that there is no bright future, family conflict, workload high and debts.
