On Monday 11 December 1995 at about 0800 hours 20 LPA wagons loaded with roading aggregate rolled out of the loop at Raupunga onto the main line and ran down a 1 in 50 grade to Maungaturanga viaduct approximately 1.5 kilometres away. A painting gang working on the viaduct were forced to take urgent evasive action. The wagons came to rest a further 1 kilometre away on a 1 in 50 ascending grade and rolled back to the bridge. The causal factor of the main line runaway was unloading wagons on a crossing loop on a grade with no protection to stop runaway wagons entering the main line.

On Monday 4 December 1995 at approximately 2010 hours a shooter fell from a Robinson R22 helicopter, ZK-HDD, during an airborne deer hunting operation 18 km north of Karamea, and sustained fatal injuries. The probable cause of the accident was the opening of the karabiner used on the shooter's harness arrangement, by equipment or clothing, thereby causing him to become unrestrained in the helicopter. The safety issue identified is the need to have a restraint system which incorporates safety features to guard against inadvertent release.

MO-1995-210
On Monday, 27 November 1995 at approximately 1600 hours, during a summer white water rafting trip down the Shotover River near Queenstown a raft capsized and one of the passengers drowned. Safety issues identified included the difficulty rafting operators have in conveying the nature of white water rafting to non-English speaking passengers. It was recommended that the proposed Commercial White Water Rafting Code of Practice include a requirement for raft operators to show passengers an audio-visual summary of the demands of the rafting experience before they embark on the trip.
