typically move electrics to chains for weight reasons. The theater I spent most of my high school years it had only 1 chain. theater lights can take some abuse given most are designed to be packed up and moved.
Just to add to this I’m very concerned by this guy’s flying technique, you should never handle the off stage line. Always use the line closest to you and keep one hand on the hemp at all times when the break is off.

@@sickofthestupid1067 not sure wtf AITSE is. In that case I think it’s potentially a uk/us thing. In the uk we don’t handle the far line as it has a higher potential to cause abrasive injuries (hemp being course) and the potential of racking your knuckles on the cradle. Not to mention the cradle making it difficult to keep both hands on the line as is crosses over. Interesting to hear about the different methods used internationally but I resent your tone. Also the US doesn’t exactly have a stellar reputation when it comes to workplace safety so perhaps some reflection is warranted on your part. Have a nice day!
Thank you for taking the time to make this fantastic video!
I grew up in a hemp house! This was where I learned about this. Thanks!

Genuinely interesting.
when the show's over you have to pull down the curtain
I have a technical theatre degree… why am I watching this?

I hope you are not using malleable clips for any overhead rigging?
