When I got home from from work today I took a look through Yahoo news and one of the stories caught my eye. In Washington debris flew into the crowd at a Monster truck rally killing a six year old and injuring his father.
A story like this really upsets me because of how easily avoidable events like this can be. I am sure that there are trials that take place before these monster truck shows take place in front of live audiences. It should be no problem with time to prepare for these shows for the company to put on a safe and death free show for all of the fans in attendance.
This is different from a sporting event where dangers are expected to take place. An example would be how you are always told to stay alert for foul balls when at a baseball game or flying pucks at a hockey game. When you are at a scripted event like a monster truck show there should be no need for fans to watch out for unscripted events.
The company that runs the monster truck shows stated that they are looking into the incident but what does that even matter at this point? The company has all the time in the world to practice all the events that they will be performing. Looking into this accident should have been done in the unlimited amount of time they had before the live event was scheduled.
