Accidents can happen anywhere, any time. Like you say, it's sad. It's why I pointed out the dangers of firecrackers. You never know when something bad will happen, it's always better not putting yourself in a potential dangerous position.
Simple solution is to have all fans stay in their seats for the whole of the game. You can get up to go to the can or go buy concessions, or maybe even allow standing to cheer right in front of your seat, but no on should be allowed by the railings. Any parks with seats right by the railing should have them removed such that there is a 6 foot area between the first row of seats and the railings. Anyone approaching a railing would be escorted out of the park.
I like it. The only con I see compared to my idea is that plexiglass tends to cloud/scratch easily (unless they have ways of preventing this from happening or cleaning it up). However if you can make each railing "bar" short enough, I guess that wouldn't be a problem.
