Abstract

With the rapid increase in the density of urban high-rise buildings and the gradual aging of the constructed buildings, pedestrian injuries and casualties due to falling objects have become a common occurrence, falling objects have become an unavoidable problem in terms of building safety. To clarify the root causes of falling objects accidents is the first task to eradicate the occurrence of accidents, and this study aims to explore the factors that lead to urban falling object accidents.In this study, the crawler technology was used to collect 260 cases of falling objects accidents on news websites. Based on the case data, the logit model was used to analyze the relationship between the influencing factors of accidents and whether injuries were caused.The results of the study found that the type of falling objects, fall time, weather, and road conditions have a significant effect on the injury of falling objects accidents, of which glass (windows), external walls, and billboards are the most important types of falling objects. The results of the study reveal the triggering mechanism of falling object injury accidents and provide important theoretical support for the effective management of urban falling objects.
