This paper provides the statistical analysis results of ropeway accidents in Japan in the past ten years from 1999 to 2008. Statistical analysis includes (1) analysis of conditions in which ropeway accidents occurred, (2) cause analysis of the accidents and (3) analysis of conditions in which similar accidents occurred. Conventional analysis of ropeway accidents in Japan was mainly focused on the case analysis of each ropeway accident. Aim of this paper is to prevent the recurrence of ropeway accidents based on the above statistical analysis results. The result shows that occurrence of similar ropeway accidents is remarkable and accounts for about 94% of the overall ropeway accidents. Authors find reduction of ropeway accidents requires reduction of similar ropeway accidents.
