Finally…

A batting cage facility is a dangerous environment. Be aware of your surroundings when moving around the facility, particularly near the nets. Coaches, instructors, and parents are responsible for keeping an eye on other players and children while they move around the nets to avoid injury from a batted or thrown ball. The batting cage nets have some give to them, so avoid standing too close to a net if there is an active hitter next to you. Keep at least 3 feet away from any occupied cage.
