Sega Corp.'s Joypolis amusement park in Tokyo, where a visitor died April 18 after falling from a sky dive tower, has had more than 50 accidents since it opened in July 1996, the police said April 22.
The game maker is suspected of professional negligence resulting in the death of Junichi Tsubouchi, 30, who had a disability that required him to use a wheelchair.
The accidents include several serious injuries, including fractured bones caused by visitors being wedged between equipment, the police said.
There were also accidents involving park employees, such as an incident in March in which an employee who was trying to pick up lost property on the floor was hit by a roller coaster and sustained a minor head injury.
