Its sad for sure. There are risks everywhere. I would bet the odds of gettin killed while driving to the event were significantly greater than getting killed while being there. Unfortunately im just waiting for the next headline to read "Family Sues over Boys Death". You know thats coming. Even though you know the risks and if its anything like hockey, I believe that by buying a ticket you release them from liability. That wont stop the lawsuit though. I got hit in the st omach one time by the puck at the local college hockey game. That hurt and left a nice bruise. Would have probably knocked me out if it had hit my head. THose things go whizzing around pretty fast if youve ever been to one. The point is its a freak accident. Very sad though.
