This report examines 3 separate track buckle occurrences on the South Island coal route during the summer of 2001/2002. Two of the track buckles resulted in derailments. Safety issues identified by these incidents included: • the need for staff training to ensure they recognise and respond to visible track defects • the need to protect continuous welded rail, formed at unknown neutral temperature • the need to control tamping and lining to ensure track is not realigned leaving increased compressive stress in the rails.

MO-2000-207
On Thursday 29 June 2000 at about 1505, the jet boat "Discovery" was approaching Tyrees Cut on the Shotover River with the driver and 15 passengers on board. The driver had reduced speed approaching the cut, and as he attempted to accelerate to maintain control of the boat the left side of his boot momentarily caught on the accelerator surround, preventing him from applying optimum power for the manoeuvre, causing the boat to drift to the right of the intended track. The stern of the boat clipped the canyon wall, causing it to spin towards a recess in the wall.

AO-1991-003
While taxiing in the early hours of the morning for departure on a night non-scheduled air transport flight, the right undercarriage traversed an area of uncompacted soil and collided with a concrete kerb. The resulting yaw caused the nose leg to separate from the aircraft. Recommendations were made concerning the installation of suitable edge lighting around the apron perimeter, realignment of a floodlight to illuminate obstructions, allocation of an identification letter to the taxiway, and more informative and accurate depiction of areas adjacent to the taxiway.
