Sure. But they would have significantly more liability if they had a known risk and solution, and chose to ignore it. They're free to ignore it, but they should assume liability if an avoidable injury occurs. If a facility has some risk of financial damage if someone gets hurt, they're at least self motivated to fix some things.
Baseball should do the same. Not that they're liable for anybody getting hurt. But they should be at least liable for injuries that could have been stopped if a nets there. They're free to ignore that risk if they think the payouts would be low and that putting up nets would lose them fan money. But they need to have at least a tiny bit of skin in the game.
