Safety inspection regarding open wheel shooters?

The field isn't enclosed; that net would only stop a very big piece or something smaller by blind luck. There are plenty of people standing close enough to the field that they're in danger if something big kicks off the field.

No guard will make these wheels 100% safe; that's not the point. But if we prevent damage in even one case it's worth it, imo.

It would be best if the GDC had actually codified this from the beginning. They didn't, as we all know. It'd be good if they answer the Q&A, or if the LRIs come to a common agreement & publicize it. Hopefully that happens.
