JAKARTA - PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) BUMD revealed the chronology of the collapse of the guardrail of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) grandstand during the grand launching and friendly match on Sunday, July 24.
Jakpro's VP Corporate Secretary, Nadia Diposanjoyo, revealed that the purpose of installing a barrier between the spectator stands and the field is to ensure that spectators do not enter the field area when the event is held.
"The function of this guardrail is to ensure that spectators stay in the stands and do not enter the field because this is not allowed. In addition, the distance between the FOP (field of play) and the audience is very close, which is about 10 meters, so a guardrail is needed to securing the stands and the field," said Nadia in her statement, Tuesday, July 26.
Ahead of Persija's friendly match against Chonburi FC, Nadia said the audience's enthusiasm was increasing because the time for the match was getting closer.
At that time, almost all of the Tier 1 stands were filled, even exceeding the available seating capacity. Based on CCTV camera monitoring, it was revealed that a number of spectators climbed the horizontal barrier to sit down and put up banners.
In fact, the strength of the structure and the designation of the boundaries of the stands was not designed as a place to stand, climb, occupy, or access the field or move the stands.
"Due to the activities of the spectators who are based on the horizontal barrier, as a result, there is an additional tensile load on the practical column anchors that are the support for the horizontal barrier to be lifted. This causes the horizontal barrier and the spectator guardrail on the north side to collapse," said Nadia.
In addition, the accumulation of spectators in one location that is not in accordance with their capacity results in the failure of the planned procedures, so that the behavior of the audience is not controlled and results in actions that are beyond the control of officers in the field.
Therefore, Nadia said yesterday's match needs to be evaluated by all parties including Jakpro, Jakmania, DKI Provincial Government, Persija, and the ticketing scheme by Jaklingko.
"The results of the evaluation going forward, we will ensure that every time there is a big match or other event at JIS that sucks up euphoria and potential for tempestuous emotions, stricter control and supervision will be carried out, especially for crossing wara wiri lines and limiting audience settings in each zone, giving warnings and warnings. education for supporters and spectators to always be orderly and be a role model, as well as mitigate the risks that arise from things that are not wanted," he added.
