Absolutely hysterical,Dave! But,it brings up a good point. Whether in the pits,or in the stands,it all comes down to parental supervision. How many times have any of us seen anything like this: Several 5 or 6 yr. olds,in or around the stands, absolutely running amok! Swinging from the handrails,blocking aisles and walkways with their Hot Wheels races,leaping from one seat level to the next,etc. And not one parent saying anything! I'll bet these are the folks that would scream bloody murder(and start a lawsuit)should their child be injured. As far as young children in the pits,I can't go along with it.It's too easy to get hurt,even if you're aware and alert,as I learned from experience.Children are quick,young ones even more so,and it only takes a second of inattention to open the door to a tragedy.
