Video Screen Falls on Performers at Concert in Hong Kong
?By now, you've likely heard about the?tragic incident at a concert?in Hong Kong last Thursday.
?Two dancers were injured after a massive video screen suspended above the stage fell onto performers below. The screen landed directly on one band member and then fell backward on another.?
?Local media reported that the hospital said one of the dancers was in a “serious condition”, while the other was stable.
Internet users questioned the lack of safety features for the band, with some noting the narrow bridge structure was not even safe to walk on, let alone perform. One comment on social media read: “The stage is of international level and spectacular. But there are too many variations. They have to see how to make it safer.”
?With safety in the spotlight, this incident serves as a reminder of the important job and responsibility we have to uphold the highest standards.
