Interesting snippet, especially c onsidering the other topic about fly rails and experience...

 

Basically the crewman was killed by a heavy piece of 'backdrop' landing on him (2010)...

The court found that the stagehands received insufficient training in handling a complex system of weights and counterweights

 

 

Hmmm....

There is more details about this in the Belgium press.

Nieuwsblad

 

The incident happened during the bump-out. Too much weight had been taken off the fly-line and the set piece hit Stefaan on the head.

He died instantly.

 

The main criticism from the Court was the lack of training, safety procedures and risk assessments within the Vlaamse Opera.
