Terrible news out of Colorado today. A spectator in the boys weight throw was struck in the head and killed earlier today. PLEASE, to all throwers, spectators, parents, but especially OFFICIALS AND COACHES, do NOT allow spectators within the line of fire and within the range of throwers. Even errant shots have struck and killed people in the past. NO STANDS should ever be placed within the line of fire and within the range of normal throwing distances PLUS another 20 feet to be safe.
