Padding? What kind of design is that with those steel H-Beams so close to the track? If I designed that thing, I don't think I could live with myself. I am sure they are there to support a roof, but it is an outside sport, the roof is only there for the comfort of photogs or workers. F them, lose the roof. It's too late for that though.

If someone leaves that track, they should hit netting or padding (like high jumpers or pole vaulters), not steel.
