There was obviously no code enforcement due to there is only 1 exit, and it looked to have a large occupant load.

It has always been that people (either in volume or of importance,) have to die before codes addressing these problems are created or, more importantly, accepted. The mentality of "It happens to someone else, not me," prevails when it comes to safety vs. dollars. Granted, sometimes we have to have an event to realize there is an issue, but we have to keep trying. Excellent article!

I have seen more of these structures used for field houses and other sport related events. I see a problem where they want to take it from the intended use and occupancy such as golf range and after hours make it a soccer field or hold an indoor art fair. My second concern is how long is the structure cover good for and how can you test it? Thanks for the article. Great article.
