Very unsafe
5 May 2021
Having worked on numerous festivals, band setup, special events and such...I can state that there are numerous safety infractions.

The bear is the least of the worries of that concert.

There are numerous fire hazards - too many to list, there is improper staging and scaffolding setup, overloaded lighting sytems, lack of fire extinguishers, , lack of fire prevention crew, lack of security and fencing to the stage area, lack of exits, lack of stage shrouding and markings of where the stage ends.

The trucks which are parked are not guarded as they should be.

There is in sufficient washroom facilities and I didn't see any first aid stations on on-site ambulances.

There was also no safe markings for walkways, gates and fencing for walling anywhere on the grounds.

The staging crew were not wearing high visability vest, steel toe boots, hard hats or harnesses when they were connecting the truss beams.

The truss beams were also being welded - whicch should not need to be - because they should either be pin connections or cheese clamps or loops hooks. There wwas also a severe fire hazzard due to the open flame and it being near flamable material.

The forklift had it's forks up far too high when the person went after the bear - which should not have been more than 1 foot off the ground for balance and to ensure a safe carrying of the load. The driver also failed to fasten a safety belt in case of the machine tipping - which it did.

When parked, the forks should have been pointed down into the ground, clase to the ground as possible and away from a path - perferably under some pallets or something which would block the path for any foot traffic or vehicle traffic.

There were no safety lights on the grounds.

There was lack of radio communication between stage and grounds.

There were no walk-overs.

The rigging crew should have been using chains instead of lifting such heavy items up a narrow stairwell.

The hunters weren't wearing their orange and marking off areas not to use.

Overall, the safety was a dismal failure that the bear was the least of things to be concerned about.

Whomever planned that event should never plan another one - because they will do another lousy job.

The person who chose the bands - they also should never work again either...those were absolutely horrid performances

The bear should have performed and it would have been more interesting.

Overall, the entire concert was a dismal failure - as was the movie.

Whomever edited this - also didn't realize that dark is dark and light is light and day and night should not switch every few minutes for no reason.

So - in closing...NUMEROUS safety infractions, bad editing, horrible music and an ending which leaves you wondering what happened...

No wonder the bear never bcame a big star...he worked on such a lousy film.

If he would have worked with Steven Spielberg, he would have had a career that lasted at least 20 years.

That bear probably regrets doing this film as his career as being a scary animal has been destroyed by this lousy film.

Oh yeah...that Charlie Sheen performance....wow....so instense....there should be awards named after him.

His entire career will never match up to his scene stealing performance as it did here.
