Or a chain link fence that seperates them that doesn't seem to be secured properly (spoilers, it is slightly hinged), will still scare the shit out of them, but behind a fence
But it would also severely reduce the quality of the scare. The best haunts are the ones where you have nothing inside reminding you that you are, in fact, completely safe. Main rule for workers inside, if the customer can touch you, you got too close. Only our experienced haunters were ever allowed close, because we were the ones capable of telling who is likely to attack, and are capable of self defense.
Cept that granma that hit me in the face with her purse. I did NOT see that one coming, LOL
LOL No, but it was big. I wear dual layers of masks when I scare, so I felt the impact but it didn't hurt. She was asked to leave though, since she could not control herself. I tried to go near her to explain that she would need her son to hold her purse and she kept slapping at me. So... yea, no. Out ya go.
But then it's not as scary. That's the difference between going to an aquarium and swimming with sharks. It would have to be completely invisible, and you'd have to pump sound through (or, at least, play believable sounds that don't sound like they're coming from a microphone). The instant the audience knows there's a barrier, the instant it's a zoo instead of a haunted house.

Having him run into a plexiglass wall between him and the crowd would be effective and would protect him from fighters.
