Title:
TSUNAMI EXPERIENCE-PROVIDING MUSEUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/215828
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] It is found extremely beneficial to experience a mild form of simulated tsunami in order to help participants learn the terror of tsunami and obtain prior knowledge on how to respond when being hit by a tsunami. However, such endeavors might carry large risks as some people may undergo psychological or physical trauma or may find even a mild form of tsunami simulation unbearable, leading to falling, a bone fracture, or even death from drowning. So, there has been a need to provide simulated tsunami experience in a harmless environment that protects participants from conceivable risks and dangers. [Solution] If simulated tsunami experience even in a mild form, is to be provided to participants in order to learn about potential difficulties involved in evacuation, a large-scale apparatus is required and a large risk is incurred. Thus, in order to avoid the risks of psychological or physical trauma, falling, a bone fracture, and the like, the present invention provides devices for safely providing a simulated experience. In particular, when it comes to psychological trauma, a decision is initially made as to what experience is to be provided (whether the learning involves simulated tsunami experience using an actual model or is limited to learning using videos or still photographs) after a participant has received a checkup by a physician or a person having knowledge equivalent to that of a physician, and on the basis of that decision, the experience is provided appropriately. In addition, the safety of participants is ensured by the use of two or more layers of safety barriers. Moreover, auxiliary equipment such as a harnesses to be provided from the upper part of a facility will also be made available for evacuation purposes.
