webfact Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Graphic video shared online showed the moment the screen fell onto the stage By Nadeem Shad BBC News A giant screen fell and injured two dancers in front of horrified fans at a concert in Hong Kong by the hugely popular boy band Mirror. The video screen crushed one performer before toppling onto others, footage circulating online showed. The music concert was immediately halted and the band's manager asked crowds to calmly exit the arena.

animatic Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Riggers didn’t have proper redundancy; 3-4 attaches not two. One gave out, when it shouldn’t have, and the second gave out instantly as soon as it’s load increased. Someone grossly miscalculated and will pay for it. Best of luck for the injured dancers for a recovery. Edited July 29, 2022 by animatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just looked up for just a rope, the breaking strength. Beaufort – double braid polyester 6 mm 1129 kg I dont think a flatscreen is weighing that much, maybe 100 kg? A solar panel with glass is 25 kg, so screen 4 times bigger is 100 kg. But even then 1129 kg breaking strength on a 6 mm rope ! Frame of screen couldnt handle it? You cant hang it? Wrong connecting clips What broke now? OK, whatever. At least wrong mechanics preparing the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
