POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Two separate lawsuits have been filed against TopGolf, alleging that flying golf clubs at their venues resulted in severe injuries to bystanders. According to the complaints, both incidents occurred at different TopGolf locations, with the plaintiffs claiming significant harm.

One of the lawsuits highlights the existence of ‘an entire genre of social media [posts] dedicated to sharing videos of injuries that customers have sustained while on TopGolf premises,’ indicating a recurring issue.

The plaintiffs are seeking damages for their injuries, which they attribute to the failure of TopGolf to ensure a safe environment for its patrons. The company has yet to issue a public statement regarding these specific incidents.

This news comes amid ongoing concerns about safety at recreational sports venues. In a similar incident, a former UK minister was reportedly assaulted 21 times with a hammer, as heard in court proceedings. Read more about the case here.
