[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 90718, member: 1285"] Re: Why friends don't let friends rig..... drunk While that argument is logically valid, and one that comes up a lot whenever safety is concerned, in the real world there is still a bottom line and if any profit is going to be eaten by safety costs, one might as well stay safe by not doing it in the first place. Obviously, doing things safely is paramount, but most of the time one has to do it within the confines of a budget. With new rules and legislations being introduced both in the US and in Europe that are likely to involve more consultants and inspectors signing things off for a hefty fee while the operator still is liable if things go wrong, I don't think the situation is going to get any better, just more expensive. Audiences, clients and performers are expecting million dollar productions at bargain basement price, maybe sometimes they should be told that they can't have it. And maybe sometimes the people making all this possible (the boys in black) should sometimes take a step back and go for safe and simple instead of trying to be at the cutting edge. Do we really have to fly everything all the time? [/QUOTE]
