Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in a walking path paved for rehabilitation, there is a problem that a walking training path for fall prevention based on medical findings cannot be sufficiently performed. In addition, since it is necessary to secure the cost and space for installing a walking training path for fall prevention, there is also a problem of whether it can be utilized by users, local residents, local communities, etc. as disaster prevention facilities, and the inventors have been conducting intensive research.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a fall prevention walking training device having a function of storing disaster prevention materials that can perform training for reducing the sway of the trainer's body and can separately create and supply sandbags with different functions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To achieve the above objective, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a fall prevention walking training device equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function comprises a first walking path section in which a trainee trains to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body by walking on a first walking path, and a second walking path section in which a trainee trains to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body by walking on a second walking path, wherein the first walking path section comprises first walking path side walls rising from the ground on both sides of the first walking path, and the first walking path formed on the upper surface by piling up first soil and sand having an average particle size within a first range between the first walking path side walls, and the second walking path section is front The second walkway comprises second walkway side walls rising from the ground on both sides of the second walkway, and a second walkway formed on its upper surface by piling second gravel, which has an average particle size larger than that of the first soil and within a second range, between the second walkway side walls. In the event of a disaster and the need for sandbags, sandbags can be made using the first soil piled above ground level between the first walkway side walls, and sandbags can also be made using the second gravel piled above ground level between the second walkway side walls, allowing for relatively easy production of sandbags for different purposes using either the first soil or the second gravel. According to one embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, a fall prevention walking training device equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function comprises a first walking path section in which a trainee trains to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body by walking on a first walking path, and a second walking path section in which a trainee trains to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body by walking on a second walking path, wherein the first walking path section comprises first walking path side walls rising from the ground on both sides of the first walking path, and a first walking path formed on the upper surface by piling first soil and sand having an average particle size within a first range between the first walking path side walls, and the second walking path section comprises second walking path side walls rising from the ground on both sides of the second walking path, and a second walking path formed on the upper surface by piling second gravel having an average particle size larger than that of the first soil and sand and within a second range between the second walking path side walls (from ground level (bottom) to top). Therefore, the first walkway section allows for training to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body, and the second walkway section also allows for training to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body. This improves the possibility of preventing falls by the trainee. Furthermore, in the event of a disaster requiring sandbags, sandbags can be created using the first soil piled above ground level between the side walls of the first walkway, and sandbags can be created using the second gravel piled above ground level between the side walls of the second walkway. Thus, the fall prevention walking training device can be equipped with a disaster relief material storage function, and sandbags can be supplied to the surrounding area quickly and safely. Moreover, according to the present invention, since the first soil is placed in the first walkway section and the second gravel is placed in the second walkway section, sandbags with different uses and functions can be created relatively easily using the first soil or the second gravel. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, a fall prevention walking training device equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function allows for training that reduces the swaying of the trainee's body, and also enables the creation and supply of sandbags with different functions.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following describes a fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function, according to one embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the attached drawings. The embodiments described herein are illustrative and will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, changes, and substitutions are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, and various modifications, changes, etc., are possible in its form and details without departing from the claims. Furthermore, the components disclosed in the specification can be freely combined.

[0010] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function, according to one embodiment of the present invention, is a walking training device that, from a medical standpoint, has the function of reducing the sway of the trainee's body axis and improving the possibility of fall prevention. Unlike a walking training device that simply uses a paved walkway for rehabilitation, the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function is a device for performing predetermined walking training for fall prevention, aiming to improve the trainee's ability to finely correct sway when standing upright. The fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function can also be described as a practice ground for walking on uneven terrain to build a body that is less prone to falling.

[0011] Medical research has shown that humans sway while standing upright. However, aging and certain diseases, such as those affecting the ear, nervous system, or brain, can lead to a decline in the ability of the semicircular canals and otoliths to detect balance, a decline in the ability of the vestibular nerves to transmit balance signals to the brain, and a decrease in muscle strength for body movement. As a result, the ability to finely correct for swaying while standing upright is reduced. Furthermore, a decline in the ability to finely correct for such swaying while standing increases the swaying of the head and body axis. When the amplitude of the swaying increases, more energy is required to recover from the swaying, and even slight disturbances may not be enough to recover in time, increasing the probability of falling. In other words, a decline in the ability to finely correct for swaying while standing leads to an increased probability of falling. Therefore, training aimed at improving the trainee's ability to finely correct for swaying while standing is desirable, but no such technique is known. A trainee is someone who aims to improve their ability to correct for swaying while standing. Trainees are, for example, elderly people, people with certain illnesses, such as ear, nervous system, or brain diseases, who have shown symptoms and have been treated or are being treated for them, etc. However, they are not limited to the elderly, etc. Healthy people and young people in their 20s and 30s may also undergo walking training to improve the aforementioned ability.

[0012] The inventors of this invention focused on the finding that when a person walks on unpaved, uneven ground, such as a riverbed with stones the size of a fist, unpaved soil, or a gravel road, the swaying motion when standing upright after walking becomes smaller than the swaying motion when standing upright before walking. Based on this finding, they developed a fall prevention walking training device 1 that allows for predetermined walking training to prevent falls. The fall prevention walking training device 1 aims to improve the ability to finely correct the swaying of the trainee when standing upright, and comprises a first walking path section mainly made of first soil, a second walking path section mainly made of second gravel, and a third walking path section mainly made of a group of third pebbles of a predetermined size, such as gravel and / or pebbles. The gravel and / or pebbles of a predetermined size are, for example, gravel with a particle size in the range of 30 mm to 200 mm. The inventor has also researched that the effect of reducing swaying differs depending on the trainee and the roughness of the ground.

[0013] The fall prevention walking training device 1 further has a function of storing disaster prevention materials. In particular, when the fall prevention walking training device 1 having the function of storing disaster prevention materials is located in an urban area, the device becomes a device having a function of supplying sandbags in the event of a disaster. In particular, in urban areas and city streets, it is relatively difficult to obtain locally the earth and sand, gravel, pebbles and / or boulders suitable for making sandbags, and it was necessary to transport them from mountainous areas or the like a little away. Also, the earth and sand to be put into the sandbag cannot be just any earth and sand. When it is desired to let water pass through, there is a desire to change the particle size of the earth and sand put into the sandbag according to the use, such as putting gravel, pebbles or boulders into the sandbag. The fall prevention walking training device 1 can solve such desires and problems.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fall prevention walking training device 1 having the function of storing disaster prevention materials includes a first walking path portion 2, a second walking path portion 20, and a third walking path portion 40.

[0015] The first walking path portion 2 is configured to be able to perform a first type of walking training for reducing the sway of the trainer's body by having the trainer walk on the first walking path 4 on the upper surface. The first walking path portion 2 includes first walking path side walls 6 rising from the ground G on both sides of the first walking path 4, and a first walking path 4 formed on the upper surface by filling the space between the first walking path side walls 6 with first earth and sand 8 having an average particle size within a first range from the ground level to the upper part of the first walking path side walls 6, a first handrail portion 10, and a first access portion 7.

[0016] The first walking path 4 is formed on the upper surface of the first walking path section 2. The first walking path 4 is formed as a walking road surface for the trainer to walk on for walking training. The first walking path 4 forms a surface that extends relatively flat. The first walking path 4 forms a width (width in the left-right direction) within the range of 100 cm to 500 cm. The first walking path 4 forms a length (length in the front-back direction) within the range of 3 m to 10 m. The first walking path 4 is not paved and forms a rough earthen path. The first walking path 4 forms a walking surface that extends relatively flat. Since the first earth and sand 8 is piled up from the ground level to the upper part of the first walking path side wall 6, the first earth and sand 8 is stored to a relatively large capacity, for example, a capacity of length 10 m × width 3 m × height 1 m, and can be supplied for disaster use later. In this embodiment, the first walking path 4 forms a surface that extends generally horizontally, but it may also be formed by an inclined surface with a gradient. The first walking path 4 does not necessarily have to be formed as a flat plane, and some unevenness or gradient may be formed. By forming the first walking path 4 as a rough surface, it is easier to apply a load or stimulation to the trainer's walking. For example, by the trainer consciously balancing the center of gravity, etc., it is possible to more efficiently improve the ability to correct the sway of their own body. Even if the first walking path 4 is a flat ground, unlike a ground paved with asphalt or the like, due to some depressions, the softness of the ground, the sinking of the ground, the uneven distribution of earth and sand, etc., the trainer needs to consciously balance the center of gravity, etc., and it is possible to improve the ability to correct the sway of their own body.

[0017] As shown in Figure 2, the first walkway side wall 6 forms a wall that rises vertically from the ground G. The first walkway side wall 6 extends vertically. The first walkway side wall 6 also extends along the first walkway 4. The first soil 8 is brought in and filled from the bottom to the top between the first walkway side walls 6. The bottom of the filled space between the first walkway side walls 6 filled with the first soil 8 may be excavated to a level lower than the ground level G, for example, to a depth within the range of 1 cm to 30 cm. The ground level means a height level relatively close to the ground, within a range of approximately plus or minus 20 cm from the ground, considering that the ground has natural slopes and unevenness. The length L1 of the first walkway side wall 6 is formed to be approximately the same length as the length L2 of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side wall 6 forms a length value within the range of 3 m to 10 m. The width between the first walkway side walls 6 is, for example, within the range of 1m to 5m, or within the range of 1.5m to 3m. The first walkway side walls 6 are formed on the outside of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side walls 6 are formed on the outer edge of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side walls 6 are formed on both sides of the widthwise outer side of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side walls 6 are formed up to the height of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side walls 6 form a height within the range of 30cm to 100cm from the ground G. The first walkway side walls 6 are formed as vertical walls made of concrete. When the first walkway side walls 6 are formed as vertical walls made of concrete, there is an advantage that the durability of the first walkway side walls 6 is high and deterioration due to moisture etc. is less, so the facility can be used for a long time. The first walkway side walls 6 have a foundation (not shown) provided in the ground G, so that the vertical wall structure can be maintained independently and stably. The left and right side walls 6 of the first walkway may be connected to each other by connecting structures, such as concrete slabs or metal pipes, as needed. The formation of a structure connecting the first walkway side walls 6 makes the structure of the first walkway side walls 6 more stable when the first soil 8 is removed from between the first walkway side walls 6. Only one example of a connecting structure 6a is shown in Figure 2, and explanations of other installation locations are omitted.

[0018] A storage compartment 6b (see Figure 2) may be formed in the area inside the first walkway side wall 6, for example, in the area below the first walkway 4. The storage compartment 6b extends inward from a part of the first walkway side wall 6 and stores sandbags and shovels. When a storage compartment 6b is formed, an opening and closing door 6c may be formed in the first walkway side wall 6 so that materials inside the storage compartment can be taken out as needed. By forming a storage compartment 6b in the first walkway side wall, workers can start sandbag making work in the event of a disaster without having to go elsewhere to get materials such as sandbags and shovels. Therefore, worker safety and work efficiency can be improved.

[0019] The first sediment 8 is sand, for example, river sand collected along a river. The first sediment 8 may also be sand other than river sand, for example, soil or sediment containing sand. The first sediment 8 functions as material for walking training. The first sediment 8 also functions as material for disaster countermeasures. The first sediment 8 has an average particle size within a first range, for example, an average particle size of a value in the range of 0.2 mm to 20 mm, for example, an average particle size of a value in the range of 0.2 mm to 15 mm, or for example, an average particle size of a value in the range of 0.2 mm to 10 mm, or an average particle size of a value in the range of 0.2 mm to 3 mm.

[0020] The first handrail section 10 comprises a column section 11 extending upward from the upper part of the walkway side wall and a cap section 12 extending laterally from the column section. The cap section 12 is provided at a height that trainees can grasp with their fingers during training, for example, at the height of an adult's waist. The column section 11 extends vertically and forms a support column that supports the cap section 12. The column section 11 of the first handrail section 10 is fixed to the first walkway side wall 6. The cap section 12 is fixed to the column section 11. The base of the column section 11 is fixed to the first walkway side wall 6. The base of the column section 11 may also be fixed to a concrete foundation or base. The cap section 12 is provided along the outer edge of the first walkway 4 when viewed from above. The cap section 12 is formed on both sides in the width direction of the first walkway 4. The cap section 12 is formed to be approximately the same length as the first walkway 4. The two coping sections 12 are formed generally parallel to each other. The coping sections 12 may have gaps (breaks) of a value ranging from 30 cm to 50 cm at intervals of approximately 2 m, for example. That is, these gaps form breaks in the coping sections 12, allowing the trainee to exit the first walkway 4 midway. Note that the coping sections 12 do not necessarily have gaps. The first handrail portion 10, which is fixed to a removable panel structure on the first walkway side wall 6, may be configured to be removable separately from the other portions of the first handrail portion 10.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the first access section 7 is connected to the starting portion of the front end or the ending portion of the rear end of the first walkway. The first access section 7 is connected to the upper surface of the first walkway section 2. The first access section 7 comprises a first slope walkway 13 formed on the upper surface of the slope section and first access section side walls 14 rising from the ground on both sides of the slope walkway. The first sloping walkway 13 is formed on the upper surface of the first access section 7. The first sloping walkway 13 is formed as the surface of an inclined path on which trainees walk up to the first walkway 4. The first sloping walkway 13 forms a slope that extends diagonally from the ground G to the height of the first walkway 4 on the upper surface of the first walkway section 2. The first sloping walkway 13 is formed to be non-slip for the safety of trainees. The first sloping walkway 13 may be paved, or its upper surface may be formed of a non-slip material such as rubber. The first access section 7 forms a relatively gentle slope with a length in the range of 50 cm to 300 cm. The first sloping walkway 13 may form a relatively long and gentle slope. Depending on the topography and slope of the ground on which the first walkway section is located, all or part of the first sloping walkway 13 may be omitted. Also, the first access section 7 may be changed to stairs or the like instead of an inclined path. Therefore, the first access section 7 may form a staircase-like section extending from the ground to the upper surface of the first walkway section 2. The first access section 7 may also be formed by a lifting device that can move up and down from the ground to the height of the upper surface of the first walkway section 2. As a further modification, the first access section 7 may be formed by a paved road formed on the ground using soil or the like.

[0022] The width of the first access section 7 is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the first walkway 4. Similar to the first handrail section 10, a first slope handrail section 15 is also formed on both sides of the width direction of the first access section 7. The first access section 7 may be formed as a structural unit that can be removed and moved, with stairs or the like formed from a framework of metal, wood, etc. In this case, the first access section 7 is also configured as a unit that can be attached to and detached from the first walkway section 2. The first access section 7 is configured as a unit that can be attached to and detached from the first walkway section 2, and can be freely moved and added. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, multiple first access sections 7 may be arranged around the first walkway section 2 so that it is possible to ascend and descend to the first walkway 4 of the first walkway section 2. By adding first access sections 7, trainees can easily stop training and leave at any position. Furthermore, trainees can start training from any position, increasing the options for training menus and enriching the training menu for trainees. In the section where the first access section 7 is added, a space 10a (cut section) is provided in the first handrail section 10, making it easier for trainees to enter and exit the first walkway 4. The space 10a is illustrated, for example, in Figure 7. A storage compartment 6b or the like may be formed in the first access section 7. By forming a storage compartment 6b in the first access section 7, workers can start sandbag making work in the event of a disaster without having to go elsewhere to get materials such as sandbags and shovels. This improves worker safety and work efficiency. Note that storage compartments 6b or the like may also be formed in the second access section 37 and the third access section 57, but the explanation is omitted to avoid repetition.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the second walkway section 20 is configured to enable the execution of Type 2 walking training, in which the trainee walks on the upper surface of the second walkway to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body. Type 2 walking training is a type of walking training that increases the intensity of the training (intensity of physical load) by one level compared to Type 1 walking training, by walking on a more unstable surface. Thus, the second walkway section 20 can provide walking training for fall prevention with a different training intensity than Type 1 walking training. The second walkway section 20 includes a second walkway side wall 26 rising from the ground G on both sides of the second walkway 24, a second walkway 24 formed on its upper surface by piling second gravel, which has an average particle size larger than that of the first soil and within a second range, from ground level to the top of the second walkway side wall 26 between the second walkway side walls 26, a second handrail section 30, and a second slope section 27.

[0024] The second walkway 24 is formed on the upper surface of the second walkway section 20. The second walkway 24 is formed as a walking surface on which trainees walk to perform walking training. The second walkway 24 forms a relatively flat surface. The second walkway 24 has a width in the range of 100 cm to 500 cm. The width of the second walkway 24 is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the first walkway 4. The second walkway 24 has a length in the range of 3 m to 10 m. The second walkway 24 is an unpaved, uneven dirt path. The second walkway 24 has a relatively flat walking surface. Since the second gravel 28 is piled up from ground level to the top of the second walkway side wall 26, the second gravel 28 can be stored in a relatively large volume, for example, up to a volume of 10 m in length x 3 m in width x 1 m in height, and can be supplied later for disaster relief. In this embodiment, the second walkway 24 forms a surface that extends generally horizontally, but it may also be formed by an inclined surface with a gradient. The second walkway 24 does not necessarily have to be formed by a flat plane, and may have some unevenness or a gradient. By forming the second walkway 24 on uneven ground, the trainee's walking is subjected to load and stimulation, which allows for a more efficient improvement in the trainee's ability to correct their own body sway by consciously balancing their center of gravity, for example. Even if the second walkway 24 is on flat ground, unlike ground paved with asphalt or the like, slight depressions, softness of the ground, sinking of the ground, uneven distribution of gravel, etc., require the trainee to consciously balance their center of gravity, which allows for an improvement in the trainee's ability to correct their own body sway.

[0025] The second walkway side wall 26 forms a wall that rises vertically from the ground. The second walkway side wall 26 extends along the second walkway 24. The space between the second walkway side walls 26 is filled with second gravel 28 from the bottom to the top. The bottom of the space between the second walkway side walls 26 that is filled with second gravel 28 may be excavated to a level lower than the ground level G, for example, to a depth within the range of 1 cm to 30 cm. The length L3 of the second walkway side wall 26 is formed to be approximately the same length as the length L4 of the second walkway 24. The second walkway side wall 26 forms a length within the range of 3m to 10m. The width between the second walkway side walls 26 forms a width within the range of, for example, 1m to 5m, or for example, 1.5m to 3m. The second walkway side wall 26 is formed on the outside of the second walkway 24. The second walkway side wall 26 is formed on the outer edge of the second walkway 24. The second walkway side wall 26 is formed on both sides of the widthwise outer side of the second walkway 24. The second walkway side wall 26 is formed up to the height of the second walkway 24. The second walkway side wall 26 forms a height within the range of 30cm to 100cm from the ground G. The second walkway side wall 26 is formed as a vertical wall made of concrete. The second walkway side wall 26 has a foundation (not shown) provided in the ground G, so that the vertical wall structure can be maintained independently and stably. The left and right side walls 26 of the second walkway may be connected to each other by connecting structures, such as concrete slabs or metal pipes, as needed. Only one example of a connecting structure 6a is shown in Figure 2, and explanations of other installation locations are omitted. A storage area 26b may be formed in the area inside the second walkway side wall 26, for example, in the area below the second walkway. The storage area 26b extends inward from a part of the second walkway side wall 26 and stores sandbags and shovels. When a storage area 26b is formed, an opening and closing door 26c may be formed in the second walkway side wall 26 so that materials inside the storage area 26b can be taken out as needed. By forming a storage area 26b in the second walkway side wall 26, workers can start sandbag making work in the event of a disaster without having to go elsewhere to get materials such as sandbags and shovels. Therefore, worker safety and work efficiency can be improved.

[0026] The second gravel 28 is gravel, for example, gravel composed of small, slightly rounded stones, such as pebble gravel. The second gravel 28 is mainly composed of gravel, but may also contain soil or sand other than gravel. The second gravel 28 functions as material for walking training. The second gravel 28 also functions as material for disaster countermeasures. The second gravel 28 has an average particle size within a second range, for example, an average particle size within the range of 10 mm to 30 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 10 mm to 20 mm. The second gravel 28 is composed of pebble gravel, such as Shirakawa gravel, which is used to place on the approach to shrines, for example.

[0027] The second handrail section 30 comprises a column section 31 extending upward from the upper part of the second walkway side wall 26, and a cap section 32 extending laterally to connect the column section 31. The cap section 32 is positioned at a height that trainees can grasp with their fingers during training, for example, at the waist height of an average-height adult. The column section 31 extends vertically and forms a support column for the cap section 32. The column section 31 of the second handrail section 30 is fixed to the second walkway side wall 26. The cap section 32 is fixed to the column section 31. The base of the column section 31 is fixed to the second walkway side wall 26. The base of the column section 31 may be fixed to a concrete foundation or base. The cap section 32 is provided along the outer edge of the second walkway 24 in a top view. The cap section 32 is formed on both sides in the width direction of the second walkway 24. The coping section 32 is formed to be approximately the same length as the second walkway 24. The two coping sections 32 are formed to be approximately parallel. The coping sections 32 may have gaps of 30 cm to 50 cm at intervals of approximately 2 m, for example, to form breaks in the coping section 32, allowing trainees to exit the first walkway 4 midway. The gaps are exemplified, for example, as gap 10a in Figure 7.

[0028] The second access section 37 is connected to the starting portion of the front end or the ending portion of the rear end of the second walkway 24. The second access section 37 is connected to the upper surface of the second walkway section 20. The second access section 37 includes a second sloping walkway 38 formed on the upper surface of the second access section 37, and second sloping walkway side walls 39 rising from the ground on both sides of the second sloping walkway 38.

[0029] The second slope walkway 38 is formed on the upper surface of the second access section 37. The second slope walkway 38 is formed as the surface of an inclined path on which trainees walk up to the second walkway 24. The second slope walkway 38 forms a slope that extends diagonally from the ground G to the height of the second walkway 24 on the upper surface of the second walkway section 20. The second slope walkway 38 is formed to be non-slip for the safety of trainees. The second slope walkway 38 may be paved, or its upper surface may be formed of a non-slip material such as rubber. The second access section 37 forms a relatively gentle slope with a length in the range of, for example, 50 cm to 500 cm. The second slope walkway 38 may form a relatively long and gentle incline. Depending on the terrain and slope of the ground on which the second walkway section 20 is located, all or part of the second slope walkway 38 may be omitted. The second access section 37 may be changed from a ramp to stairs or the like. Therefore, the second access section 37 may form a staircase-like section extending from the ground to the upper surface of the second walkway section 20. The second access section 37 may also be formed by a lifting device that can move up and down from the ground to the height of the upper surface of the second walkway section 20. As a further modification, the second access section 37 may be formed by a paved road formed on the ground using soil or the like.

[0030] The width of the second slope walkway 38 is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the second walkway 24. Handrails 45 for the second access section 37 are also formed on both sides of the width direction of the second access section 37, similar to the handrails 30 for the second access section. The second access section 37 may be formed as a removable and movable structural unit, such as stairs, using a framework of metal or wood. In this case, the second access section 37 is also configured as a unit that can be attached to and detached from the second walkway section 20. Similar to the first access section 7, multiple second access sections 37 may be arranged around the second walkway section 20. An example of additionally arranging the first access section 7 is shown in Figure 4, but examples of multiple arrangements of the second access section 37, etc., are omitted.

[0031] The third walkway section 40 is configured to enable the execution of Type 3 walking training, in which the trainee walks on the upper surface of the third walkway 44 to reduce the swaying of the trainee's body. Type 3 walking training is a type of walking training that further increases the intensity of the training (intensity of physical load) by walking on ground that is even more unstable than Type 1 and Type 2 walking training. Thus, the third walkway section 40 can provide walking training for fall prevention with a different training intensity than Type 1 and Type 2 walking training. The third walkway section 40 comprises third walkway side walls 46 rising from the ground G on both sides of the third walkway 44, a third walkway 44 formed on its upper surface by piling up a third group of pebbles 48, the average particle size of which is within the third range and greater than the value within the second range, between the third walkway side walls 46 up to the top, a third handrail section 50, and a third access section 57.

[0032] The third walkway 44 is formed on the upper surface of the third walkway section 40. The third walkway 44 is formed as a walking surface on which trainees walk to perform walking training. The third walkway 44 forms a relatively flat surface. The third walkway 44 has a width in the range of 100 cm to 500 cm. The width of the third walkway 44 is formed to be roughly the same as the width of the first walkway 4 and the second walkway 24. The third walkway 44 has a length in the range of 3 m to 10 m. The third walkway 44 is an unpaved, uneven dirt path. The third walkway 44 has a relatively flat walking surface. Since the third group of pebbles 48 is piled up from ground level to the top of the third walkway side wall 46, the third group of pebbles 48 can be stored in a relatively large volume, for example, up to a volume of 10 m in length x 3 m in width x 1 m in height, and can be supplied later for disaster relief. In this embodiment, the third walkway 44 forms a surface that extends generally horizontally, but it may also be formed by an inclined surface with a gradient. The third walkway 44 does not necessarily have to be formed by a flat plane, and may have some unevenness or a gradient. By forming the third walkway 44 on uneven ground, the trainee's walking is subjected to load and stimulation, which allows for a more efficient improvement in the trainee's ability to correct their own body sway by consciously balancing their center of gravity, for example. Even if the third walkway 44 is on flat ground, unlike ground paved with asphalt or the like, slight depressions, softness of the ground, sinking of the ground, uneven distribution of gravel, etc., require the trainee to consciously balance their center of gravity, which allows for an improvement in the trainee's ability to correct their own body sway.

[0033] The third walkway side wall 46 forms a wall that rises vertically from the ground. The third walkway side wall 46 extends along the third walkway 44. The third group of pebbles 48 is brought in and filled from the bottom to the top between the third walkway side walls 46. The bottom of the filling space between the third walkway side walls 46 filled with the third group of pebbles 48 may be excavated to a level lower than the ground level G, for example, to a depth within the range of 1 cm to 30 cm. The length L5 of the third walkway side wall 46 is formed to be approximately the same length as the length L6 of the second walkway 24. The third walkway side wall 46 forms a length value within the range of 3 m to 10 m. The width between the third walkway side walls 46 forms a width value within the range of 1 m to 5 m, for example, a width value within the range of 1.5 m to 3 m. The third walkway side wall 46 is formed on the outside of the third walkway 44. The third walkway side wall 46 is formed on the outer edge of the third walkway 44. The third walkway side wall 46 is formed on both sides of the widthwise outer side of the third walkway 44. The third walkway side wall 46 is formed up to the height of the third walkway 44. The third walkway side wall 46 is formed at a height within the range of 30 cm to 100 cm from the ground G. The third walkway side wall 46 may be formed as a concrete vertical wall. The third walkway side wall 46 has a foundation (not shown) provided in the ground G, so that the vertical wall structure can be maintained independently and stably. The left and right third walkway side walls 46 may be connected to each other by connecting structures, such as concrete slabs or metal pipes, as needed. By forming a structure that connects the first walkway side walls 6, the structure of the third walkway side walls 46 becomes more stable when the third group of pebbles 48 is removed from between the third walkway side walls 46. Only one connecting section 6a is shown as an example in Figure 2, and the explanation of other installation locations is omitted. A storage area 46b may be formed in the area inside the third walkway side wall 46, for example, in the area below the third walkway. If a storage area 46b is formed, an opening and closing door 46c for retrieval may be formed in the third walkway side wall 46 so that materials etc. inside the storage area 46b can be retrieved as needed. By forming a storage area 46b on the side wall 46 of the third walkway, workers can begin sandbag creation work in the event of a disaster without having to go elsewhere to retrieve materials such as sandbags and shovels. This improves worker safety and work efficiency.

[0034] The third pebble group 48 is a collection of pebbles composed of small stones such as gravel and rubble. The third pebble group 48 may also be called the third pebble group. The third pebble group 48 functions as a material for walking training. The third pebble group 48 also functions as a material for disaster countermeasures. The third pebble group 48 is mainly composed of relatively small stones, such as those used in stone bags for repairing roads and potholes. Relatively small stones consist of stones that are about the size of a clenched fist, for example. Relatively small stones are formed from stones with a larger particle size than gravel, such as those found in riverbeds. The average particle size of the third pebble group 48 is larger than the average particle size of the second gravel group 28. The third pebble group 48 is mainly composed of pebbles, but may also contain soil, sand, gravel, etc. The third pebble group 48 has an average particle size within a third range, for example, an average particle size within the range of 30 mm to 200 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 30 mm to 150 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 30 mm to 100 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 40 mm to 100 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 40 mm to 90 mm. If an average particle size of 30 mm is included in the second gravel, the third pebble group 48 may be formed to have an average particle size within the range of 31 mm to 200 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 31 mm to 150 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 31 mm to 100 mm, for example, an average particle size within the range of 31 mm to 90 mm. The third group of pebbles 48 maintains the relationship that it has a larger average particle size than the second gravel 28, while the lower limit of the example range of average particle size described above can be changed to 25 mm, 35 mm, etc. The stones of the third group of pebbles 48 may be placed in bags made of metal wires twisted together in a mesh, such as stone bags. Alternatively, such stone bags may be made of bags made of so-called Kevlar fibers (registered trademark) twisted together in a mesh. The lower part between the third walkway side walls 46 may be made of multiple stone bags containing the third group of pebbles 48, and the upper part may be made by arranging the pebbles of the third group of pebbles 48 in a row without placing them in stone bags.

[0035] The third handrail section 50 comprises a column section 51 extending upward from the upper part of the third walkway side wall 46, and a cap section 52 extending laterally to connect the column section 51. The cap section 52 is positioned at a height that trainees can grasp with their fingers during training, for example, at the waist height of an average-height adult. The column section 51 extends vertically and forms a support column for the cap section 52. The column section 51 of the third handrail section 50 is fixed to the third walkway side wall 46. The cap section 52 is fixed to the column section 51. The base of the column section 51 is fixed to the third walkway side wall 46. The base of the column section 51 may be fixed to a concrete foundation or base. The cap section 52 is provided along the outer edge of the third walkway 44 in a top view. The cap section 52 is formed on both sides in the width direction of the third walkway 44. The coping section 52 is formed to be approximately the same length as the third walkway 44. The two coping sections 52 are formed to be approximately parallel. The coping sections 52 may have gaps 53, for example, every 2m, with a value in the range of 30cm to 50cm, forming breaks in the coping sections 52, allowing trainees to leave the first walkway 4 midway.

[0036] The third access section 57 is connected to the starting portion of the front end or the ending portion of the rear end of the third walkway 44. The third access section 57 is connected to the upper surface of the third walkway section 40. The third access section 57 includes a third sloping walkway 58 formed on the upper surface of the third access section 57, and third sloping walkway side walls 59 rising from the ground on both sides of the third sloping walkway 58.

[0037] The third slope walkway 58 is formed on the upper surface of the third access section 57. The third slope walkway 58 is formed as the surface of an inclined path on which trainees walk up to the third walkway 44. The third slope walkway 58 forms a slope that extends diagonally from the ground G to the height of the third walkway 44 of the third walkway section 40. The third slope walkway 58 is formed to be non-slip for the safety of trainees. The third slope walkway 58 forms a relatively gentle slope with a length in the range of, for example, 50 cm to 500 cm. The third slope walkway 58 may also form a longer and relatively gentler incline. Depending on the terrain and slope of the ground on which the third walkway section 40 is located, all or part of the third slope walkway 58 may be omitted. Also, the third access section 57 may be changed to stairs or the like instead of an incline. Therefore, the third access section 57 may form a stepped staircase extending from the ground to the upper surface of the third walkway section 40. The third access section 57 may also be formed by a lifting device that can move up and down from the ground to the height of the upper surface of the third walkway section 40. As a further modification, the third access section 57 may be formed by a paved road formed on the ground using soil or the like.

[0038] The width of the third access section 57 is formed to be approximately the same as the width of the third walkway 44. Handrails 55 are also formed on both sides of the third access section 57 in the width direction. The third access section 57 may be formed as a removable and movable structural unit, such as stairs, using a framework of metal or wood. In this case, the third access section 57 is also configured as a unit that can be attached to and detached from the third walkway section 40. Similar to the first access section 7, multiple third access sections 57 may be arranged around the third walkway section 40. Refer to the example of the first access section 7 in Figure 4, and the example of multiple arrangements for the third access section 57 will be omitted.

[0039] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. In the fall prevention walking training device 101 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function according to the second embodiment, the first walkway side wall 106, the second walkway side wall 126, and the third walkway side wall 146 are formed by a wooden frame structure with a panel structure in which wooden panels 106b are attached to a wooden framework 106a. Therefore, at least a portion of the first walkway side wall 106, the second walkway side wall 126, and the third walkway side wall 146 are formed by a panel structure that allows for the attachment and detachment of adjacent panel structures. As shown in Figure 6, the fall prevention walking training device 101 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function comprises a first walkway section 102, a second walkway section 120, and a third walkway section 140. In Figure 6, the first access section 7, the second access section 37, and the third access section 57 are not shown. The second walkway section 120 and the third walkway section 140 have the same wooden frame structure as the first walkway section 102, so a detailed explanation is omitted. Therefore, the first walkway side wall 106 of the first walkway section 102 will be described. The fall prevention walking training device 101 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function in the second embodiment has almost the same structure as the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the second embodiment of the present invention, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and similar parts will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings and their explanation will be omitted.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5, the framework 106a of the first walkway side wall 106 is, for example, formed by connecting boards on the inside of the first walkway side wall 106 to form a framework, and is shown by dashed lines in Figure 5. Panels 106b form the outer surface of each section of the first walkway side wall 106. The panels 106b are formed to be separable from each other. For example, the first walkway side wall 106 in Figure 5 is formed by combining four panels 106b. The panels 106b form the outer surface and, in combination with the framework 106a, have strength to withstand pressure such as that of the first soil and sand. With the panel structures of the first walkway side wall 106, the second walkway side wall 126, and the third walkway side wall 146 removed, the first soil 8, the second gravel 28, and the third group of pebbles 48 can be removed, making it easier to create the sandbags using the first soil 8, the second gravel 28, or the third group of pebbles 48.

[0041] The first walkway side wall 106 of the first walkway section 2 is formed by a wooden frame structure in which wooden panels are attached to a wooden frame. The first walkway side wall 106 is formed to rise from the ground on both sides of the first walkway 4. The first walkway side wall 106 comprises, for example, a wooden frame 106a and a plywood panel 106b attached to this frame 106a. The plywood panel 106b forms the first walkway side wall 106. The first walkway side wall 106 forms a wall that rises vertically from the ground G. The first walkway side wall 106 extends along the first walkway 4. The shape, size, length, position, etc. of the first walkway side wall 106 are generally the same as those of the first walkway side wall 6, so a description is omitted.

[0042] When the first walkway side wall 106 is formed as a vertical wall with a wooden frame structure, it has the advantage that the first walkway side wall 106 can be formed relatively easily and inexpensively, and even if it is destroyed, it can be reconstructed relatively easily. The first walkway side wall 106 is connected to a foundation provided in the ground G, so that it can maintain an independent and stable vertical wall structure. The left and right first walkway side walls 106 may be connected to each other by connecting structures as needed, such as concrete slabs, metal pipes, or wooden connecting parts. By forming a structure that connects the first walkway side walls 106, the structure of the first walkway side walls 106 becomes more stable when the first soil 8 is removed. A storage area 6b (see Figure 2) may be formed in the area inside the first walkway side wall 106, for example, in the area below the first walkway 4. The second walkway side wall 126 and the third walkway side wall 146 have almost the same structure as the first walkway side wall 106, so their explanation is omitted.

[0043] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. In the third embodiment of the fall prevention walking training device 201 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function, the first walkway side wall 206, the second walkway side wall 226, and the third walkway side wall 246 are formed as part of a box-shaped unit 260. Since the structure of the fall prevention walking training device 201 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function in the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function in the first embodiment, in the third embodiment of the present invention only the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and similar parts will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings and their description will be omitted. As shown in Figure 8, the fall prevention walking training device 201, which has a function for storing disaster relief materials, comprises a first walkway section 202, a second walkway section 220, and a third walkway section 240. The second walkway section 220 and the third walkway section 240 are the same as the first walkway section 202 in terms of the box-shaped unit, so a detailed explanation is omitted. Therefore, the first walkway side wall 206 of the first walkway section 202 will be explained. In Figure 7, the first access section 7 is omitted to make the structure of the box-shaped unit 260 easier to understand. Also, in Figure 8, the first access section 7, the second access section 37, and the third access section 57 are omitted from the illustration.

[0044] As shown in Figure 7, the first walkway side wall 206 of the first walkway section 2 is formed as part of a box-shaped unit 260. The box-shaped unit 260 comprises a first side wall 261 of a predetermined width, a second side wall 262 of a predetermined width, a bottom portion 263 formed between the first side wall 261 and the second side wall 262, a front wall 264 on the front side, a rear wall 265 on the rear side, a base portion 266, and a fork insertion opening 267 that opens laterally in the base portion 266. The box-shaped unit 260 is formed in a box shape with an open top. The box-shaped unit 260 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from above. The first side wall 261 and the second side wall 262 extend parallel to each other. The first side wall 261 and the second side wall 262 form the first walkway side wall 206. A drainage opening 269 for draining water is formed at the bottom of the box-shaped unit 260, and the drainage opening 269 communicates with the fork insertion opening 267. A drainage opening 269 is provided in each box-shaped unit 260.

[0045] Furthermore, the front wall 264 and the rear wall 265 extend parallel to each other. The bottom 263 forms a flat bottom surface. The box-shaped unit 260 forms a rectangular internal space between the four side walls and the bottom 263 as described above. The box-shaped unit 260 is formed as a bucket made of steel. Therefore, the box-shaped unit 260 can be lifted and moved, either by itself or when loaded with the first soil 8 as its contents.

[0046] The first walkway side wall 206 of the first walkway section 202 is formed by arranging box-shaped units 260 into which the first soil 8 is piled. The first walkway side wall 206 is formed to rise from the ground on both sides of the first walkway 4. The first soil 8 is brought into the box-shaped units 260 by truck or the like, and the first soil 8 on the top surface is leveled, for example, so that the first walkway 4 is formed on the top surface as shown in Figure 8. The first walkway side wall 206 forms a wall that rises vertically from the ground G. The first walkway side wall 206 extends along the first walkway 4. The shape, size, length, position, etc. of the first walkway side wall 206 are generally the same as those of the first walkway side wall 6, so a description is omitted. Since the first walkway side wall 206 is formed from a steel bucket, the box-shaped unit 260 can be moved while it is still containing the first soil 8. After moving the box-shaped unit 260, the work of filling the first soil 8 inside into sandbags can be carried out, which can increase the efficiency and speed of the work. The first side wall 261 and the second side wall 262 are connected by a bottom 263 which constitutes part of the box-shaped unit 260. The box-shaped unit 260 is configured as a single unit by combining the first side wall 261, the second side wall 262, and other parts. A storage compartment (not shown) may be formed in the area inside the first walkway side wall 206, for example, in the area below the first walkway 4.

[0047] The bottom portion 263 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from above. The bottom portion 263 forms the bottom surface of the upper storage compartment. The bottom portion 263 is attached to the base portion 266.

[0048] The base 266 is formed to have a so-called pallet structure used for the distribution of materials, etc. The base 266 has fork insertion openings 267. The base 266 is formed so that the forks of a forklift can be inserted into the fork insertion openings 267 and the entire box-shaped unit 260 together with the base 266 can be lifted. The fork insertion openings 267 allow the forks of a forklift to be inserted from the direction of the first walkway side wall or the second walkway side wall. Therefore, sandbags can be made after the box-shaped unit 260 has been moved. The base 266 is made of resin, metal, wood, etc.

[0049] Next, with reference to Figure 9, a method for forming the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function will be described. Since the methods for forming the first walkway section 2, the second walkway section 20, and the third walkway section 40 are all generally the same, only the first walkway section 2 will be described, and the explanations for the second walkway section 20, the third walkway section 40, etc. will be omitted.

[0050] In step S1, an installation step is performed in which two first walkway side walls 6 are installed on the ground G. The first handrail section 10 is fixed to the first walkway side walls 6 as needed. When step S1 is completed, the process proceeds to S2.

[0051] In step S2, a loading step is performed in which the first soil 8, transported by a dump truck or the like, is brought in between the two first walkway side walls 6. The first walkway 4 is formed when the first soil 8 is piled up between the first walkway side walls 6. By walking along the first walkway 4, the trainee can perform walking training that reduces the swaying of the trainee's body. When step S2 is completed, the process proceeds to S3.

[0052] In step S3, if necessary, an access unit placement step is performed to connect the first access unit 7 to the first walkway 4. This makes it easier for trainees to access the first walkway 4 via the first access unit 7. When step S3 is completed, proceed to the end.

[0053] Next, referring to Figure 10, a method for creating sandbags from a fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster relief material storage function will be explained. At the start, a fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster response material storage function, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is installed in, for example, government buildings, parks, nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and facilities for health promotion. If a disaster occurs in the surrounding area and a situation arises where sandbags are needed, the process proceeds to step S11 to start the sandbag creation method and create sandbags. Situations where a disaster occurs and sandbags are needed include, for example, when a flood occurs or is likely to occur in the area and sandbags are needed to prevent water from entering low-lying areas, or when rising river levels or water flow erodes soil from roads or cliffs and sandbags are needed for collection. In addition, sandbags may be needed for a wide range of other purposes, such as simply filling holes with sandbags, repairing roads, or creating temporary paths using sandbags so that people and vehicles can walk when there is flowing water. Although the composition of the first walkway section 2, the second walkway section 20, and the third walkway section 40 differs from each other in terms of the first soil and sand 8, the second gravel 28, and the third pebble group 48, they share many similarities in their basic structure. Therefore, the explanation will focus on the first walkway section 2, and the explanations for the second walkway section 20 and the third walkway section 40 will be omitted. For confirmation purposes, the same sandbag construction method can be applied to the second walkway section 20 and the third walkway section 40.

[0054] In step S11, a preparation step is performed to retrieve multiple sandbags, shovels, and other work materials stored in the inner storage compartment 6b from the first access side wall 14 or the first walkway side wall 6 of the fall prevention walking training device 1, which is equipped with a disaster response material storage function, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Since the sandbags, shovels, and other work materials are provided in the fall prevention walking training device 1, which is equipped with a disaster response material storage function, the time and effort required to procure work materials in the event of a disaster can be eliminated, and a rapid response to the disaster can be initiated. Once step S11 is completed, the process proceeds to S12.

[0055] In step S12, the fall prevention walking training device 1, which has a function for storing disaster relief materials, is dismantled using a shovel or spade to remove the first soil 8, and the sandbag creation step is performed to fill the first soil 8 into sandbags to create sandbags. At this time, the fall prevention walking training device 1, which has a function for storing disaster relief materials, has an unpaved first walkway 4, and is configured to make it easier to remove the first soil 8 with a shovel or spade compared to when the first walkway 4 is paved.

[0056] In the first embodiment, when the first walkway side wall 6 is formed as a concrete wall and the first access section 7 is formed of soil or a removable unit, all or part of the first access section 7 can be removed, and the first soil 8 can be taken out by accessing it from the entrance or exit direction of the first walkway section 2. Since the first soil 8 is mostly located at a height higher than or equal to the surrounding ground G, it is easy to take out the first soil 8 and to pack it into sandbags. Therefore, sandbags necessary for disaster countermeasures can be quickly created and supplied to the area. In addition, in the event of a disaster, it prevents workers from being exposed to danger by having to bring materials from far away to prepare sandbags, and allows workers to quickly create sandbags at nearby facilities and supply them to the surrounding area. Furthermore, for example, in urban areas, it is difficult to secure sand, gravel, pebbles, etc. to create sandbags according to their intended use. In large cities such as Tokyo, exposed ground is very limited to begin with, and even if ground remains, stones and other debris have often been removed. Furthermore, even if there are large rivers nearby with gravel and pebbles on the riverbed, approaching such rivers during typhoons or heavy rains, when flooding requiring sandbags is anticipated, could endanger workers. Therefore, for example, if such devices and facilities are installed in urban areas, sandbags filled with sand and other materials can be supplied to the area quickly and safely. Moreover, this technology has the function of supplying different types of sandbags according to their intended use. For example, sandbags filled with the first type of soil 8 can be supplied to areas where water leakage needs to be suppressed, sandbags filled with the second type of gravel 28 can be supplied to areas where water leakage is acceptable, and sandbags or stone bags filled with the third type of pebbles 48 can be supplied in situations such as when it is necessary to easily repair roads, etc., while allowing water to flow out.

[0057] When the first walkway side wall 6 is formed from a wooden frame such as wooden panels, as in the second embodiment, or when all or part of the first walkway side wall 6 is formed by detachable panels, all or part of the first walkway side wall 6 can be removed, making it easier to remove the first soil and sand 8. Since the first soil and sand 8 is mostly located at a higher position than or at the same height as the surrounding ground G, the first soil and sand 8 is easy to remove and easy to pack into sandbags. Similar to the case where the first walkway side wall 6 is made of concrete, this has advantageous effects such as enabling the rapid creation and supply of sandbags necessary for disaster countermeasures to the area.

[0058] In the third embodiment, when the first walkway side wall 6 is formed as part of a box-shaped unit, the first soil 8 can be removed more easily by moving and removing all or part of the first walkway side wall 6 together with the box-shaped unit. For example, the box-shaped unit can be moved to an open position that is easy to work with, with the forks of a forklift inserted into the fork insertion opening, and the first soil 8 can be packed into sandbags in a way that is easy for workers to handle. In addition, multiple box-shaped units can be moved to different locations, and the work of packing the first soil 8 into sandbags can be carried out in parallel, thereby increasing the efficiency of the work. Furthermore, since the box-shaped unit can be easily moved, the structure of the first walkway section 2, etc. can be easily changed. For example, the length of the first walkway section 2, etc. can be changed by changing the number of box-shaped units. Also, for example, by moving the box-shaped unit, the arrangement position of the first walkway section 2, etc. can be easily moved or changed. In addition, since the first soil 8 is mostly located at a position higher than or at the same height as the surrounding ground G, the first soil 8 is easy to remove and easy to pack into sandbags. Similar to the case where the first walkway side wall 6 is made of concrete, this offers advantageous effects such as the ability to quickly create and supply sandbags necessary for disaster countermeasures to the community. Once step S12 is completed, proceed to S13.

[0059] In step S13, a reconstruction step is performed to reconfigure the first walkway section 2 so that it can be used again as a fall prevention walking training device. In this way, for any of the first walkway section 2, the second walkway section 20, and the third walkway section 40, the first soil 8 is removed from the first walkway section 2 to create the sandbags, the second gravel 28 is removed from the second walkway section 20 to create the sandbags, and / or the third group of pebbles 48 is removed from the third walkway section 40 to create the sandbags, then the first soil 8 is brought into the first walkway section 2, the second gravel 28 is brought into the second walkway section 20, and / or the third group of pebbles 48 is brought into the third walkway section 40, and the first walkway section 2, the second walkway section 20, and the third walkway section 40 can be reconfigured again.

[0060] As in the first embodiment, for example, if the first walkway section 2 is described using the first walkway side wall 6 as a concrete wall, when the removal of the first soil 8 from the first walkway section 2 is complete, the structures such as the first walkway side wall 6 of the first walkway section 2 remain. The reconstruction step involves, from this state, transporting the first soil 8 again between the first walkway side walls 6 of the first walkway section 2 using a dump truck or the like, and reconstructing the first walkway section 2 so that it can be used again as a fall prevention walking training device. Thus, the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster countermeasure material storage function is made usable again.

[0061] In the second embodiment, if the first walkway side wall 6 is formed by a wooden frame such as a wooden panel, or if all or part of the first walkway side wall 6 is formed to be detachable, the removed first walkway side wall 6 is reassembled. Then, a loading step is performed in which the first soil 8 is again brought into the space between the first walkway side walls 6 by dump truck or the like, and a reconstruction step is performed in which the first walkway section 2 is made usable again as a fall prevention walking training device. Thus, the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function is made usable again.

[0062] In the third embodiment, when the first walkway side wall 6 is formed as part of a box-shaped unit, the moved box-shaped units are arranged in a continuous line again. Then, a loading step is performed in which the first soil 8 is again brought into the space between the first walkway side walls 6 within the box-shaped unit by dumping or the like, and a reconstruction step is performed in which the first walkway section 2 is made usable again as a fall prevention walking training device. Thus, the fall prevention walking training device 1 equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function is made usable again. When step S13 is completed, proceed to the end.

[0081] The embodiments for carrying out the present invention are not limited to those described above, and further variations can be applied. Various alternative embodiments and examples will be apparent to those skilled in the art based on the disclosed technology.

[0082] Furthermore, for example, all or any of the first walkway section 2, the second walkway section 20, and the third walkway section 40 may be buried underground, and the first walkway, second walkway, and third walkway may be provided at approximately the same level as the ground G. In this case, for example, in a fall prevention walking training device equipped with a disaster countermeasures material storage function, the first walkway 4 is formed by providing a first walkway side wall to a predetermined depth from the ground G and piling first soil between the first walkway side walls. Similarly, the second walkway 24 is formed by providing a second walkway side wall to a predetermined depth from the ground G and piling second gravel between the second walkway side walls. Similarly, the third walkway 44 is formed by providing a third walkway side wall to a predetermined depth from the ground G and piling third group of pebbles 48 between the third walkway side walls. In the event of a disaster requiring sandbags, the process of transporting the first soil 8 from a height lower than the ground G between the side walls of the first walkway and creating sandbags would normally be time-consuming. However, since the first walkway 4 is located at the same height as the ground G, the first access section 7 can be omitted. This also has the advantage of making it easier for trainees to move to the first walkway 4 and facilitating training to reduce the swaying of the trainees' bodies. Similarly, in the event of a disaster requiring sandbags, the process of transporting the second gravel 28 from a height lower than the ground G between the side walls of the second walkway and creating sandbags would normally be time-consuming. However, since the second walkway 24 is located at the same height as the ground G, the second access section can be omitted. This also has the advantage of making it easier for trainees to move to the second walkway 24 and facilitating training to reduce the swaying of the trainees' bodies. Similarly, in the event of a disaster requiring sandbags, the third group of pebbles 48 would need to be removed from a height lower than the ground G between the side walls of the third walkway to create the sandbags. However, since the third walkway 44 is located at the same height as the ground G, the third access section can be omitted. This also has the advantage of making it easier for trainees to move to the third walkway 44, and facilitating training to reduce the swaying of the trainees' bodies.

[0083] Furthermore, for example, all or part of the first walkway side wall 6 may be formed by an embankment of soil. If the first walkway side wall 6 is formed by an embankment of soil, it may require some effort to remove the embankment when transporting the first soil 8. However, in the event of a disaster requiring sandbags, it is possible to create sandbags using the first soil 8 between the first walkway side walls, as well as sandbags using the second gravel 28 between the second walkway side walls, thus providing a certain advantage.
