Stage Roof Collapse In Siebnen Switzerland

This roof blew over apparently at the "Falk Lorelei Open-air" festival in Sieben Switzerland on Friday. One report says the winds were 130km/h (80MPH), which is pretty high, but there's also little evidence of good stage roof design or practice in this video.

I couldn't embed the video, but you can watch it here or here, and here's a screen grab:

Fortunately, none of the reports I found said anything about injuries, but they came close!  Watch the guys on the stage left (camera right) side just before it goes over!

Thanks Jim Van Bergen on Facebook for the tip...
