Looks like you guys are doing 100% tie off with fall protection (Good!). Our stages have horizontal lifeline systems with a trolly that allows the guys to travel the entire length of the stage without disconnecting and reconnecting. I think I saw some carabiners being used in lieu of shackles for rigging. We don't allow that, although I'm sure it happens. At the end of the video I saw that the guy was tied off from the front of the fall protection harness, not the "D" ring in the rear at his shoulder blades. Good way to break your back.

Have you, or your crew, ever taken Jay Glerum and Harry Donovan's arena rigging course? Its very, very good.
