[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 90664, member: 67"] Re: Why friends don't let friends rig..... drunk The concepts behind rigging are fairly simply but what is considered "correct" for a given lift can vary, that's why you don't see "done right" examples in general forums like these. Don't feel badly if you don't see what's wrong, that means you should have real engineering behind any structural lifting and suspension and engage qualified persons to do the work. To learn more, start with this book: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Entertainment-Applications-Techniques-ebook/dp/B007M9KLII/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1]An Introduction to Rigging in the Entertainment Industry (Applications & Techniques): Chris Higgs: Amazon.com: Kindle Store[/url] Follow up with: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Rigging-Entertainment-Regulations-Practice-ebook/dp/B007XUG2UC/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1]Rigging for Entertainment: Regulations and Practice: Chris Higgs: Amazon.com: Kindle Store[/url] Or this: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Entertainment-Rigging-Practical-Riggers-Managers/dp/097233811X/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_2]Entertainment Rigging: A Practical Guide for Riggers and Managers: Harry Donovan: 9780972338110: Amazon.com: Books[/url] Shane points out the techniques and principles that are incorrect in the application pictured. FWIW, the upstage towers are rigged acceptably as the hoist chain goes over the head block and is (presumed) anchored at the offstage side of the tower base. The rest? Oy vey. Looking at the pictures, though, it seems that with 2 more hoists and some beam clamps, they could have done away with the ground support towers. [/QUOTE]
