It's a tragic case, of course, and no doubt my natural inclinations would be the same as the lad's dad, but presumably there would be other cases that have occurred if there's significant danger from these pitches? I looked on't tinternet and found reference to many studies in the US about these surfaces. Many say they are safe, some doubting the reliability of the research.

Hard to know exactly how to proceed when there are concerns like this. Probably with some caution, but you can't completely stop progress for the sake of what only appear to be one or two incidents that may not be linked in any way.

My parents still won't use microwave ovens as they think they are cancerous for some reason. Sounds a bit bonkers to me, although there's plenty of cases in the past (e.g. Asbestos) which point towards a more safety first approach.
