The structure of the baseball stadium fell once again. The time when the shock and pain of the Changwon death accident are vivid. It is a shocking incident that took place in the fifth month of the opening 'New Stadium'.

Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park is a 'new stadium' that opened in March.

On the 27th, a dizzying accident almost occurred amid the match between SSG Landers and Hanwha Eagles. On this day, the sign near the stands on the fourth floor of the first base side fell. Hanging from the ceiling, the sign is an iron structure with a seat guide written on it. Photos of the sign that fell off with one side cut off were released through the Internet community.

For now, Hanwha also took action quickly. An official from Hanwha said, "At around 5:17 p.m., one of the bolt fastening parts of the hanging sign on the fourth floor's first base was dropped. After the on-site measures, we conducted a complete inspection and inspection of signboards in the same way with Gyeryong Construction, a contractor, and Daejeon City, the contractor, and the club held a countermeasure meeting at 7:30 p.m. " After the game, Daejeon City and the contractor (Gyeryong Construction) inspected the site and decided to reinforce wires on the same sign and carried out construction on Monday (28th)" he said.

On March 29, a shocking accident occurred at Changwon NC Park. A large aluminum structure (ruber), which is about 2.6 meters long, 40 centimeters wide, and weighs 60 kilograms, fell to the floor in the window of the club's office on the fourth floor near the third base. The crashed structure hit a crowd trying to use the canteen, which eventually led to the death of one person.

After the accident, NC Park did not play for about two months to inspect the facilities. All of the louvers were demolished, and facilities were supplemented and safety diagnoses were conducted. NC Park is also the latest stadium that opened in 2019.

Recently, the KBO League has been boasting the biggest box office hit ever, dreaming of 15 million spectators. Accidents continue to occur at stadiums not long after opening, not at old stadiums, raising concerns across the baseball community.

Baseball safety is an absolute value that cannot be compromised. It is not too much to emphasize and check repeatedly, to the point of exhaustion. Apart from new stadiums and old stadiums, safety inspections of baseball stadium structures should be carried out on a regular basis.

An official from Hanwha said "We will continue to consult with Daejeon City regarding the safety management of the new stadium."
