A theatre company near me is attempting the flying scene in "American Idiot." They do not have the money or resources to hire proffessionals and are attempting to do it themselves with a 9 foot ceiling. There "plan" is to use those 100 pound plus dog harnesses and 100 pound plus rubber dog leashes. When I said this idea is idiotic I was told "Don't worry about it" Not to mention it's kids 16 and 17 flying and will only be flying 2-3 feet off the ground it is extremely stupid. I'm no rigger myself but I know the rule of thumb is leave flying to the proffessionals. Any words to say to a director that thinks nothing ever goes wrong and can do anything?
