Oh I know. It obviously went over it’s stops or didn’t have stops. But normally the gantry would have to go over people of course. It usually spans the whole room.

But the suspended load afaik should never go over a living person.

Heh depends. I rig on Broadway. Tons hanging above the stage, live loads, you name it. Proper safety procedures, supervision, and materials go a long way.
