Jolin Tsai performed 12 pole tricks in 90 seconds.
This not only dazzled the audience, but also put huge pressure on the stars. In such an environment, the occurrence of stage accidents seems to be inevitable.
What problems cause stage accidents?
First of all, there must be a variety of stage equipment, such as lifting platforms, stage structures, etc. These problems tend to appear in celebrities' solo concerts.
Stage installations
Remember a major stage accident at the Hung Hom Coliseum in Hong Kong in 2022?
During the concert of the popular Hong Kong boy band Mirror, a giant screen hanging above the stage suddenly fell and hit two dancers.
Be careful! The picture may cause discomfort!
In 2017, Grasshopper performed as a guest in the Red Pavilion, and during rehearsal, the hydraulic workbench suddenly tilted and collapsed, resulting in injuries to three Grasshoppers and six staff members who were working on the stage. Cai Yizhi, the most seriously injured grasshopper member, was also directly absent from the performance that night.
The stage collapsed
In addition to stage installations, another type of serious accident is stage collapse.
In Indiana, USA, in 2011, the stage of the outdoor ** festival was blown down by a hurricane, causing many injuries and seven deaths.
Seven people were killed and 58 injured when strong winds of 60 to 70 mph suddenly blew at the scene, mixing dust, mud and raindrops, causing the makeshift stage to fail to withstand the strong winds and the entire building plummeted to the crowd waiting for the performance in front of the stage.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the main cause of the accident was that the stability of the temporary structure was not up to sufficient standards.
Stage special effects
There are also cool fireworks special effects on the stage.
In Bucharest, Romania, in 2015, a nightclub in the center of the city was holding a performance of the Romanian heavy rock band "Goodbye to Gr**ity", when about 400 people, mostly young people, attended to listen to the new ** released by the idol group before Halloween.
Witnesses at the scene said that during the performance, the fireworks next to the band ignited the polystyrene decorative panels on the exterior wall, and then the ceiling and a beam quickly ignited, and the fire spread, billowing smoke filled the hall, many people fainted, and more people rushed to flee
The fire killed 51 people and injured many others, while the drummer, bass player and two guitarists of the band Goodbye to Gr**ity all died at the scene.
In Rhode Island, USA, a fire was caused by stage pyrotechnic effects during an indoor performance by the heavy metal band greatest white. The soundproofing foam on the walls and ceiling of the nightclub is a highly flammable material, and the fire quickly swept through the entire venue, killing 100 people and injuring 230 others due to smoke, heat, stampede and more.
The fancy stage must pay attention to absolute safety!
With so many lessons from the past, it seems that stage accidents cannot be avoided. Neither a lack of budget, a tight schedule, nor the pursuit of perfect stage effects can be a reason to let your safety vigilance down.
From the artist's point of view, it is not possible to frequently risk oneself in order to pursue the stage effect, but for the performance organizer, it is more important to keep a firm eye on every link and make adequate preparations to ensure that it can provide a safe performance environment for artists and fans.
What should be left on stage should be good memories, not "frightening" accidents.
Zhang Weijian's "thrilling" incident once again aroused the public's attention to stage safety. Netizens have pointed out that the safety measures at the concert site are very important for both the artist and the audience. In the pursuit of a stunning stage effect, safety must not be overlooked. Organizers must strengthen the supervision of stage safety to ensure the safety of every performer.
