Notre Dame makes safety change in wake of student death

Notre Dame announced plans to change how football practices are videotaped in response to the October 2010 death of student Declan Sullivan, who died while videotaping a practice. The plan is to install a permanent, remote video system for the university’s practice fields, eliminating the need to use a scissors lift. The scissor lift in use by Sullivan at the time of the accident toppled when stuck by high winds. Sullivan's parents hope that other universities will take similar steps.
