While rigging a 4' x 4 Kino Flo, the gaffer had the light drop directly onto his head causing it to explode instantly. The gaffer walked away unscathed, aside from his pride.
A steady-cam shot was executed during filming that entailed walking throughout the entire mansion following an actor up and down stairs, down hallways, through many rooms. The operator did not stop once during the shot, totaling up to almost ten minutes of walking with the rig on.
