At least now I know what that big bang was!, I almost lost a microphone to those same bleachers, I sat down to take a break and my mic unclipped from my belt and was being pulled by gravity slowly towards that gap, I was able to slowly and carefully rescue it before it made the plunge.

I found it for some reason hard to see the benches vs the steps there as well as I was making my way up and down although I came close to falling at least I am reassured in knowing I certainly wouldn't fall through that gap

Maybe next year assuming I lose the 40 lbs.
