Dangerous Spectator Sports

Even being a sports spectator can present safety risks. No longer news, but a good example for athletes and promoters:

For those of you who like watching a lot of cars go around a track, the 26th and 27th of August are drawing near. Time to head out to Bristol...yes, this year it may still be possible to get tickets without being related to anyone.

Although it's happened only a few times in the history of car races, one relative of mine is completely race-phobic because she was on the street outside the Indiana stadium when a car flipped into the air and landed in the stands. Would NASCAR follow Barry Bonds' example if the bizarre were to recur?
