Ball Trajectory Risk Assessment

Understanding ball trajectory is crucial in sports, not only for players and coaches but also for those involved in stadium development and management. Loose balls flying into crowded areas can pose a risk to life and property, making it necessary for developers and property managers to conduct a ball trajectory risk assessment. In fact, this assessment is often required during the planning phase of new construction.

The laws of physics that influence ball trajectory are fundamental to understanding the trajectory of a ball. Gravity pulls the ball towards the ground while air resistance slows it down as it moves through the air. However, other factors such as the velocity and spin of the ball at the point of contact or release, or the shape and size of the ball, can also affect the trajectory.

To address these factors, Labosport has developed a projectile model that utilizes data collected from professional games. The model provides accurate results that can ascertain the level and type of mitigation required. This is crucial in ensuring the safety of spectators and property surrounding sports stadiums.

To prevent balls from leaving the playing field, several types of barriers can be installed such as protective netting or solid walls. By understanding the laws of physics that influence ball trajectory and utilizing advanced models and technology, developers and property managers can take necessary measures to prevent accidents and injuries caused by loose balls in crowded areas.
