Sign of the Times: When Fests Go Wrong The Big Church Festival in West Sussex is the latest outdoor event to face a catastrophic collapse of infrastructure, following a string of similar incidents.
Last summer's tragedy at the Port Arthur Music Festival in Tasmania, where a stage caught fire during a performance, left several people injured.
This past Friday's incident at Big Church Festival, where a falling sign injured six visitors and claimed one life, has raised more questions than answers about festival organizers' preparedness for worst case scenarios.
