I was sat in the 'VIP' area while watching the strip...Never even spared a thought for how little those barriers would stop. Shocking  :shocked:. Hope the peeps are ok  :sad:

Bloody hell! :shocked: you just don't realise how dangerous these things can be sometimes, the organisers are going to have to make some changes for next year methinks, hope they're ok.
