Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy


Didn't it mention that this roof had the weight removed from the chain motors by applying a strap over the head block?  That would most certainly increase the time to lower the roof, having to climb each tower and release the weight.  Then can the motors support the weight of the added sound, lighting, video equipment that has been added since the straps were in place.   I have worked with smaller roofs before, but none that had this procedure of taking the weight from the motors in place. Is this common practice with all roofs?
