Def Leppard Show Incident

A stagehand was taken to the hospital after being crushed at Def Leppard concert by the upstage section of roof when collapsed as a result of pre-mature removal of the cross-bracing. It was this cross bracing that held the roof to the stage. 4 other stagehands, who were also under the structure managed to escape without injury. This was a completely avoidable tragedy. The out was ahead of schedule, and there was no need to rush, reports KNAC.com.

One of the truck drivers told a local hand that this was a repeat of a similar incident that happened on a previous show. In this rigger’s opinion, this tour is an accident waiting to happen, combining insufficient equipment, inadequate stage direction, and a poorly designed production to produce a laundry list of safety failures. Most prominent of these failures was a complete lack of communication between road crew.

how is that funny? you may not like def leppard but that doesnt give you the right to laugh when one of their stagehands is crushed. tell you what, if you can get crushed under a section of roof and still laugh, then ill take it back. but for now you can go get a clue or get a life

- Dude, CharlesMathon, you're a f**king dick. Your obviously entitled to an opinion, but when u leave a comment on every f**king article saying that the band sux, or that one of the people who made a comment is a retard or something, just gets f**king annoying. If your not gonna actually make some kind of intelligent response on an article, that doesnt just criticise something, then just shut the f**k up. No one wants some annoying person leaving gay comments all over the place that just insult what someone else likes.

Your Obviously entitled to your own opinion, but when you leave a comment on every f**king article, saying that the band sux or that a person is retarded for haveing an opinion different than yours,it just gets old. If your unable to leave some kind of intelligent comment, that doesnt just criticise something, that just shut the f**k up. Its F**king annoying to see how you always seem to constantly leave gay comments that just insult what other people like.

^^^didnt mean to post that twice

[guns n' basses]

^man people have had to say that too many times. why dolnt you just stop posting stupid shit like that?..dont get me started

[psykopoo]

Don't blame it on Charles, im sure he had a depressed and abused childhood, which the shit music (Korn, Orgy, Marilyn Manson, Deftones) did'nt help. He obviously, does'nt have any friends or a girlfriend, so he spends all his time trying to take his bitterness out by pissing people off on forums and guitar websites. Here's a thought: find yourself a girl mate...or better yet, a job

F**king idiots (timesignal and CharlesMathon) - they think they're funny and great, I hope it happens to them, I know it sounds harsh but ppl who laugh at ppl's misfortunes deserve it - again...f**king idiots.

Plus, it is no fault of Def Leppard so even if you like em or not, it's irrevelivant.
