Medal table
Railing collapse
The only multi-casualty event noted in the 1984 official report of the Los Angeles Olympics was a small one at team handball where a railing on the bleachers collapsed. The first aid team and the chief medical officer handled the situation quickly and professionally. First aid teams were responsible for moving victims from the stands and broken railings. However, a concern that was not anticipated was the lack of experience in carrying patients from the stands. Four of eight spectators who fell through a wooden railing while trying to catch bouquets from victorious Olympic medal-winners suffered minor injuries but were not hospitalized.
