[SML] Swage Fail video?

[eddie Kramer]

Not so much as a fail video but it does deal with safety cables, PLASA BSR E1.53 - 20xx, Overhead mounting of luminaires, lighting accessories, and other portable devices: specification and practice, is out for its first public review.

The standard covers specifications for the primary and secondary (AKA lighting safety cables) mounting devices for portable stage and studio luminaires and accessories. It also covers these mounting devices for special effects equipment (e.g. fog machines and bubble machines) that are often mounted along with lighting equipment on trusses and rigging system battens. The standard would give guidance on how to properly affix these mounting devices.
