Le padel can be a dangerous sport. The fact that we are “locked up” between panes and grids, close to our partner and depending on the points, within reach of our opponents, can be dangerous. Bad luck happens quickly, and the number of burn injuries to the knees or elbows is important in a player's life.

Knowing that the game allows us to get off the field to play the balls further increases the chances of getting hurt.

But, there is another danger factor that could be avoided: The spectators.

Ladies and gentlemen spectators, this message is for you and also and above all for your children. Come and watch matches of padel, but above all, stay away from the gates because a player coming out of the field is looking at the ball and not the people. To avoid any accident, stay away.

In this video that ends happily well, see how the player looks at the ball and not the viewer at a runway.
