Late last week, Sega's Japanese headquarters was searched by authorities in connection to an accident earlier in the week where a disabled man died after falling from a skydiving simulator at one of Sega's Joypolis amusement parks, located in Daiba, near the Tokyo waterfront.

The accident occurred because the man who fell, Junichi Tsubouchi (30), was too big to use the ride's safety belt, and despite this the park staff let him ride it anyway, resulting in a fatal 5 meter plunge.  Sega is now suspected of criminal negligence causing death, and company president, Hisao Oguchi, has admitted that safety protocols were violated by allowing Tsubouchi on the ride.
