Fatality inquiry hears fraying straps played role in fatal stage collapse

www.edmontonjournal.com: Small ratchet straps contributed to the collapse of a concert stage at the Big Valley Jamboree that killed a woman in 2009, a fatality inquiry heard Wednesday.

The five-centimetre-long straps helped secure the stage towers, but ended up snapping during a sudden windstorm, consulting engineer Travis Hagglund told the inquiry, held at Camrose provincial court. The accident killed Donna Theresa Moore, 35.
