Answer

How can a fence at a social facility in Palma become dangerous?

A fence becomes dangerous when it has sharp crown points or other exposed metal parts that can cause deep injuries in a fall. At social facilities in Mallorca, access areas should be designed so that a person who stumbles, climbs, or tries to get in cannot be impaled or cut severely.
