Golf ball hits head of woman walking on cycling track leading to airport; Changi looking at taking precautions

SINGAPORE - Changi Airport Group is looking at introducing precautionary measures, like putting up nettings, along a stretch of its new cycling track after a female pedestrian was hit on the head by a stray ball from an adjacent golf course.

The Changi Airport Connector - which includes the 1km Jurassic Mile stretch with dinosaur exhibits - was opened on Oct 11. It stretches from East Coast Park and alongside Tanah Merah Country Club to Terminal 4 and Terminal 2 at Changi Airport. A nearby security officer alerted the airport and an airport ambulance arrived at the scene with a doctor, who said the helper had suffered bruising and advised that her condition be monitored at home, Mr Yap said in his post."I am sharing this incident so that people are aware. I can't imagine how it turned out if the golf ball was to hit a child or an elderly person."

The move come in the wake of Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao reporting that there were several incidents of cyclists slipping on turns during wet weather. More on this topic Some cyclists have suggested the slippery turns could be due to the paint on the track.

Tiger woods in town! 🏌️‍♂️

There are documented cases of golf balls killing people. So this is a matter of public safety... And of course should definitely sue.

Sad. Something the creator of the walk had overlooked when creating the track next to the golf course.

A head-in-one, will it increases or reduce the handicap?
