Unglück

Ich hoffe die drei sind nicht schwerer verletzt, das konnte ich dme Artikel nicht entnehmen.
Aber dieser Aufbau ist auch ein absolutes no-go. Soviele Fehler auf einmal sieht man sicherlich selten.

just to be provocative:

this construction would bring at least one person in jail in germany.

and make it absolutely clear, that that kind of roof was a security risk from the very moment it was constructed...

1. the lifts that support the roof are at least overloaded and not used in a proper way of balancing the load.

2. the overload gets worse the more lights are used in the roof.

3. somebody must have noticed that fact while setting up the "structure"

4. i've seen worse accidents involving more secure structures because "shit happens"

The translation is almost right.

Seemed to be the same typ of roof, but the first one is much bigger, I guess 10m x 10m, which is quite long for trilock-truss. Also it ist not wise to use lifts outdoor, the straps may be useful to prevent tilting the roof, but reducing the working-load.

It's been discussed so many times here:
Lifts are only for lifting during work. Not for holding the load and not for usage with public underneath!
And lifts are no good choice in combination with outside OR roofs.

The sad thing is: the lifts weren't the point of failure...

Another sad thing: this does'nt seem to be build by a very chaep company or someone without any knowhow.

It´s already said that no professional company in germany would build a roof only standing on Genies. I do also think that the truss collapsed in the gable caused by overload or wind. BTW: Are only Europeans knowledgeable to work with windbracings? I´m not able to see them on both pictures that are linked in this threat.

I´m glad that no person died. And I hope that this accident would have been predictable to any of our forum users!

They got another, much bigger roof:

That was the original roof, I think, but without any load.
Look at the lenght of the bars hanging on it.

good thing is:

emory got a law school and a school of medicine a good method to test both...
