It was reported that an estimated 3,730 people fell onto train tracks this year. The number of people who fell onto tracks exceeds 3,000 yearly. A study on these accidents has revealed that a majority of these cases (56.2%) was attributed to drunks and people who had been intoxicated. As the year ends, many Japanese will be out drinking and partying. December has always been the month with the most cases of track accidents. Train stations are already taking steps to prevent people from stumbling or falling onto the tracks from the platforms. In recent years, the facing of the benches on platforms have been repositioned. Security cameras have also been set up to identify individuals who may fall.
