You have to use your head when the speeds are that high, and maybe not stand near the fences.

I agree with all of this, but Saldana could have easily ended up in the stands the other night and he ended up clipping a track vehicle. People need to be aware of what is happening on the track and know where they're at but at the same time, a track has to at least make an effort to keep fans safe, without them the track doesn't function.
