OSAKA – Two men died and 16 others were injured on Oct 10 when floats overturned during annual festivals in Osaka prefecture.
In Izumisano, a 51-year-old man was trapped beneath a float that overturned while he was riding it with other participants, police said. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital, while seven others were injured.
A float at a different event in Izumiotsu also toppled, killing a 48-year-old man who was among those trapped underneath, according to the police. He was on the float when it overturned. Nine others were injured.
Both accidents occurred as the “danjiri” floats were being manoeuvred around corners, the police said.
Danjiri floats are pulled through city streets entirely by human power in festivals that originated as prayers for a good harvest in the south-western part of the prefecture. Accidents often occur during “yarimawashi”, a highlight of the parades in which the floats make turns without stopping

But I thought the Japanese people were the most educated around? Apparently they didn't take physics.

I like the festival where they ride a huge log down a steep hill falling off getting squashed by the log. Very entertaining!

You usually only see that kind of nonsense in India. They shouldn't be copying that.

How they control these huge wooden floats is amazing
