Attorney Michael Babboni Comments on Spectator Safety After Daytona 500 Crash

St. Petersburg, FL, July 9, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The recent crash at Daytona's Coke Zero 400 sent Debris was flying into the grandstands after the accident. Dozens of people received a medical evaluation after the incident and one person was taken to the hospital.

The crash occurred around 2:40 a.m. - very late due to the race not starting until 11:30 p.m. from rain delays. During the race on the final lap, driver Austin Dillon became caught up in a violent, high-speed crash, and his car flew off the track and smashed into the catch fence. While the fence did stop the car, hundreds of pieces of debris to flew into the stands and rained down on spectators.

While it's true that the catch fence saved many lives during the violent crash at Daytona, race event organizers should take a closer look at the current system. With hundreds of fans seated so close to the track their safety is entirely in the hands of the catch fence. Should a fence ever fail the results would be catastrophic. Race organizers may want to take another look at seating spectators in areas at high risk of debris

With hundreds of fans seated so close to the track their safety is entirely in the hands of the catch fence. Should a fence ever fail the results would be catastrophic. Race organizers may want to take another look at seating spectators in areas at high risk of debris.”
