<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Andrew touched on the real problem with pit nets. Not enough of them are properly anchored. The nets themselves are fine. I’ve worked with the Incord nets and they’re great. But if you don’t get the proper
anchorages you’ll be in trouble. Falling into a net and becoming one with an upright bass can’t be a good thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The netting I trust; the anchors on the moveable pit wall by the audience are a different issue. Depends if you’re rating them for props (to protect the musicians), or for actors/singers.<o:p></o:p></p>
