[FONT=Arial]Rigger Dies in Fall from Mississippi Amphitheatre [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]SOUTHAVEN, MS — An experienced rigger who fell to his death April 24 was wearing a harness, but it was temporarily unsecured, according to the owner of Cole Entertainment Services, the company handling the rigging for a concert at Southaven Springfest in Snowden Grove Park outside of Memphis.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]The rigger, Charles “Chuck” Houston, died after falling some 40 feet to the amphitheatre’s concrete stage. Cole Entertainment Services owner Chuck Cole said Houston had first worked as a stagehand in 1997 and had been working regularly as a rigger for more than five years. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Although the DeSoto County, Miss. Coroner’s office reported that Houston was not wearing a safety harness and there was not safety net, Cole reportedly said that Houston was “very experienced,” and that he had a safety harness, “but it was not hooked up at the time.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Houston, according to Cole, may have temporarily unhooked the harness to move to a different point above the stage, or may have been on a beam where neither safety line nor safety net was available. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Houston was working alone and no one saw him lose his balance, but Cole said he saw him as he fell, and administered CPR in an attempt to revive him. “He was a close friend,” Cole said.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Police officials in Southaven have classified the death as accidental. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is conducting its own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.[/FONT]
