Thanks for featuring my post.
I saw the Djoker thing, watching it back it looked like it didn’t really catch him so I’m sure he’s fine. Not sure why the barriers would fall down so easily though. Maybe some missing bolts are just a temporary install.
I agree. Hopefully the organisers will re-look at the set up so that it doesn’t happen again or something worse.
Did you see that vid of the crazy fan incident with Nole? He really is luck that he was not injured more.
