[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 34454, member: 153"] Re: Another Stage Collapse Kristian & Jack, I thought that's what you were leaning to, but, I just wanted to hear it again to be certain. I believe that if we're talking less gear....then, it'll lead to smaller shows....and I wouldn't want to see anyone forced into that restriction...for many reasons. If we were to depend on permanently built structures and doing away with temporary structures.... I'd think that the whole industry would take a huge hit in ticket sales, contractors would be hit, local hands,road crews, rentals, etc....all taking a hit . The idea of these large, temporary, roof structures is because there's too few permanent structures, and not enough in consistant sales to justify the investment in the permanent structures. With these temporary structures, they can be moved to where and when they are needed. (I know that you both know these facts, but others may not) In regards to eveything else, I agree... I think that although most of the current Roof designs are sufficient for "normal" weather conditions, I can imagine a bigger, stronger, roof standard coming..whether self imposed, of industry demands, or of Governmental intervention. I hope that it's self imposed. Cheers, Hammer ps....
