The opening was only given the go-ahead earlier this week following a series of safety tests after a 7ft spike fell off the 184ft sculpture - the tallest art in Britain. The sculpture takes its name from Christie's comment that he always aimed to leave the blocks in a 100 metre race on the "B of the Bang" from the starting pistol.
