Re: Another flying issue
If you plan on having an accident, you'd better have all your certificates 
~;-)~:wink:
I'm just saying that avoiding accidents have got a lot more to do with the people putting up the stuff than the certificates that comes with the stuff. I've seen scaffolding that was brand new, certified and signed off come crashing down. My collegue that wrote the work permit was in the clear because the structure was properly signed off by the company putting up the scaffolding. The guy that fell down and broke his leg was covered by the insurance, and the company and the employee that built and signed off on the scaffolding was in the clear because all the paperwork had been done. Makes you feel nice and safe, doesn't it?
Helge, you are travelling all over the world doing sound, so you must know the kind of cut-throat pricing you see in Britain and other countries. In Norway, even if you can't afford to pay for the inspections (the yearly inspection of a shackle probably costs more than the purchase price), at least the rigging equipment tends to be top notch and according to spec. I'm not talking about people flying old, non-flying equipment, and wonky groundstacks that look like it might come crashing down at the first hard hit of the bass drum, but the line arrays currently in use by bigger and medium sized providers.
