The stands looked sturdy and I wonder how many overweight people sat on them.
I doubt there were any bracing done to hold them up against the winds.
I see bracings in the pics. They look weak, though.
A lot of outdoor stages aren't really sturdy, one collapsed in Ottawa a while ago. Nobody got killed though. I know there was one in Alberta a few years ago, a woman got killed there.
Yeah, there were also a couple collapses in the USA the past couple weeks. Dang, I am VERY patient when I put together scaffolding for roof work. Apparently these stands were built too quickly. It is a shame.
