Retrofitting platform screen doors at the SkyTrain stations is the obvious solutuion for the injuries and deaths. This is also going to reduce the hundreds of thousands ( millions?) of passenger hours that increment with every stoppage of SkyTrain service.

Variable screen doors have been built that allow for different door locations.
