I've often wondered watching the games how there wasn't, at this point, high fencing and/or safety netting under those areas of the bleachers. Odds on by next season insurance will force the issue finally.
When I first heard the story, I locked on to what the man's first post fall words were, telling everyone around that his little boy was alone in the bleachers, please go look for him.
And I really feel for Josh Hamilton; he's going to be re-living that moment for the rest of his life.
:agree:
When I saw the story on the news it looked as if there was some kind of secondary facade that he fell between. I don't know what it was, but I immediately wondered why there wasn't something like a net strung between the railing and whatever this other "screen?" was?
The club owner was on expressing that the fan's safety was the most important thing to him. Has this happened before? If so, why wasn't the danger addressed?
I hadn't heard anything about what happened to this man after he fell. Apparently, according to Zoidberg's post, he lived long enough to express concern for his child. How very sad this was…
