Part 5/7:
In response to the incident, the Dodgers announced that they would be taking immediate actions to ensure safety at their venue. This included the installation of netting beneath areas prone to such falls—an act that many have noted attempts to remedy potential future hazards. However, the announcement of a “longer-term review” did not instill confidence among fans attending the subsequent game, as it resembled a generic promise rather than a robust immediate solution.
Samson humorously pointed out the discrepancy between the urgency of fan safety and the vague notions of future evaluations. Promises of long-term reviews could indicate that much work is yet to be done regarding stadium infrastructure, but fans needed reassurance that their safety was being prioritized in the here and now.
