[QUOTE="Christian Tepfer, post: 117216, member: 108"] Re: A real stage collapse Interesting. A lot of kids on stage, maybe they were dancing. So there was quite a bit of weight, maybe also dynamic load. Stage flooring can stand very different weights, depending on the make and quality. The front section may have been good for some dozen people standing still (my impression while looking at the picture) and nobody noticed until they got a full stage. I'm glad nobody was seriously harmed, compared to what could have happened. PS: Just found this report, where a witness describes the performance prior to the collapse as "everyone was jumping around like crazy". That is exactly what I thought...
