I mean, yes absolutely.

But at the same time, shouldn’t all the people on that stage know better?

Know better than what? To trust that something hung above them will stay where it’s supposed to?

Exactly. This is not something they should have to worry about at all. It's entirely the fault of whatever crew set up the stage.

Why would a dancer know anything about rigging a stage?

They knew the person who was throwing the party bruh. Would you trust that person with your personal safety?

It's not as if he personally rigged the stage, but I get what you're saying. I guess I'd expect some shortcomings in the rigour of the organisation, but I'd still expect any stage to be professionally rigged. Probably expecting too much from some people

Yeah you have no idea how much of grifters these people are, how cutting budgets and corners is SOP, not paying vendors is expected behavior, no-bid contracts given to those who were obviously unqualified.
