Four people hurt as Fuerzabruta set collapses on Roundhouse audience

Stage | theguardian.com: Three audience members and a performer were injured when a piece of machinery collapsed into the crowd at Friday night's performance of the popular circus show Fuerzabruta.
The immersive circus show, which is currently playing its third stint at the Roundhouse in London, was halted after about half an hour, when a piece of moving stage equipment – a mechanical sail that rotates above the audience – suffered a malfunction.

These kinds of incidents are why the entertainment industry needs more standards of quality and certifications of technicians.


Accidents happen, but this seems like it was very preventable. I know the house said that no human error was involved, but I think more likely than not, there was human error involved.
