[QUOTE="Jason Lavoie, post: 50711, member: 159"] Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy Fixing the weakest link in the chain just makes the next weakest link shop up. I think the issue here is that many aspects of the design/implementation were done without sufficient safety margins built-in. if the guy wires were attached to something stronger (at both ends) and if they were thicker, and if the truss was loaded properly (or stronger to take the additional load) and if, if, if, then it would be fine.. it's all about balance. you have to either design the structure for the intended load, or only load the structure according to its design. a hybrid of both is always a bad idea.
