|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Fan dies after falling from stands at Rangers game Kurt Rivers, Photographer Ormond Beach | FL | USA | Posted: 12:12 AM on 07.08.11 ->> Wow, I expected a baseball fan would perish from getting hit in the head from a foul ball, not falling from the stands... Condolences to the family of this fan and I hope this does not happen again. I have had some semi-close foul balls come my way but never got hit. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BBA_RANGERS_FAN_FALLS?SITE=AP&SECTIO... http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/news/story?id=6747510&campaign=rss&sou...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I guess that's normal, but it's amazing this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. Seems like they would have taken extra measures after dodging that bullet last year when a fan fell from the upper deck.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The problem is if they put them at a "normal" height it obscures the viewing of the people sitting in the front row. tragic situation...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Maybe they can install netting in between the outfield walls and the stands? Just a thought. So tragic.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I suspect lawsuits will be forthcoming and players, staff, etc. will no longer be allowed to toss balls to fans. So sad for everyone involved.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
