[SML] Balcony Rails

[Bill Conner]

NFPA is currently looking at balcony rails, specifically sight line
constrained rails. The incidents in arenas and stadiums over the past
several decades initiated the study, but right now it's the same requlation.

The team researching came up with two incidents in performing arts
facilities over 20 years. One was ruled suicide and should not be
considered. The other was in the Chicago Theatre, and in one Tribune
article was labeled balcony. I'm pretty sure I found before this was in the
lobby, but not sure where. If you know of the incident in have information
that can clarify, please share.

If you know of other fall incidents over sight line constrained rails,
please share.

Thank you.
