Carefully checking the safety of amusement facilities to provide real-life experience-based value
Bandai Namco Experience provides customers with real entertainment that brings people together in person. “Real entertainment” refers to the various types of play offered by such locations as arcades, theme parks, and athletic and sports entertainment facilities. At these locations, safety and security are essential. Below, we take a closer look at our efforts to ensure safety and security using the example of our next-generation indoor adventure park Tondemi.
Ensuring our next-generation indoor adventure park Tondemi can be enjoyed by all ages
Tondemi is a next-generation indoor adventure park that opened in 2017. The facility features a variety of activities available for people of all ages to enjoy, from children to adults, including rope walks, climbing walls, and trampolines. Safety and security are a prerequisite for ensuring that visitors can enjoy the facility with peace of mind.
A specialized department handles rigorous checks, from equipment planning to installation and inspections, ensuring safety and security
Safety and security initiatives begin at the planning stage for play equipment. Before fabrication, proposals are evaluated for any potential dangers or concerns. We thoroughly check against multiple standards, including the Japan Park Facilities Association’s Safety Standards for Play Equipment.
In addition, we check for any new dangers or concerns during the fabrication stage, and a specialized department performs rigorous checks during installation. This specialized department visits the site and carries out inspections based on relevant laws and regulations, and our own inspection guide. We perform thorough safety checks daily, adhering to laws such as the Building Standards Act, the Fire Service Act, and the Industrial Safety and Health Act, as well as various relevant standards. Even after play equipment is available for use, we conduct regular inspections without fail.
Inspection items for ensuring safety and security
Trampolines
- Actually jump on the trampoline to check if there is any place where feet will get stuck
- Check that there are no sharp points or springs around the landing area
- Ensure the cushion is properly positioned against the support
Climbing walls
- Climb and check all holds for sharp edges
- Check that safety belts are functioning properly to prevent injury in the event of a fall
Rope walks
- Make sure there are no sharp edges within reach
- Check that safety belts are functioning properly to prevent injury in the event of a fall
Continue to enhance safety and provide experience-based value unique to a real-life experience
Bandai Namco Experience will continue to conduct rigorous safety verification and regular inspections to ensure facility safety. We will also review and improve the systems in place to ensure safety, providing a real-life experience that customers can enjoy with peace of mind.
