*saving this photo to scare people who think you can hang anything without reweighting*
Wow, that's kinda scary. Do you know what caused the runaway? Since it's arbor heavy, I assume the loaders must have just been a little too eager to add weight or something during load-in. What was the show (if you're allowed to say)? Was anything damaged? And what did OSHA/IA/Equity think about continuing the show with that damage hanging overhead?
Nope, I won't say the show. It was supposed to be a pipe that married to an electic, and was weighted before the pipe was married.

And this is the wrong approach, for many reasons.... Common practice is to "marry" two battens together by chaining them together and use two arbors to carry the weight. ...
A Qualified Rigger should/would do it differently.
