Saw this the other day on a gig that I was on - nothing to do with me btw, I was rigging the stage, not vidiot screens. Told the people (not riggers) hanging the screens that it was dodgy etc. They did change the truss for something a bit heavier, but only after it started 'smiling'. They were hanging about 1.5 tonnes of screen from it.

 

Apparently the motor got like that after the chain had wrapped itself round the body and someone kept their finger on the button, not noticing what was happening.

I think a picture tells the story

 

** laughs out loud ** like the bit showing the truss resting on one bit of ladder scaf, wonder what the point load is, did they have any design calculations?

Hard to tell what the load capacity of that truss is from the picture, it's the end resting on the sparse scaff that would really worry me as well.
