[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 34265, member: 16"] Re: Indiana Stage Fair Stage Collapse I've been in my busiest part of the year and haven't heard of this until today. What a sad outcome when lives are lost in this and any situation. I'm sure we all send our thoughts and prayers to the friends and families of those killed and injured. I wonder why the roof panels were not engineered to let loose under a certain set of loading conditions. Some (temporary) structures under which I have worked would "tear away" the roof panels when the load threatened the frame. Better to lose the roof and get the gear wet than end up with a structural failure. But I'm just a layman wondering about this stuff. DR [/QUOTE]
