The stage manual hoist fails to operate

Not a single mistake is tolerable at any second of a stage performance. Both the performers who throw themselves into their roles on stage and the backstage staff who race against time are always on high alert, going all out to ensure that every step is executed with precision, all to present the most perfect show to every member of the audience off stage. In particular, the backstage crew, though hidden from the audience's view, shoulder crucial responsibilities such as prop handling, equipment adjustment and scene transition, serving as the solid backbone that guarantees the smooth progress of the stage performance. Yet when weighing "ensuring a smooth performance" against "protecting personnel safety", the latter always takes top priority. Therefore, when a stage manual hoist suddenly jams and cannot be pulled during operation, staff must never panic and resort to brute force to yank it. It should be noted that brute force does not resolve the jamming issue; on the contrary, it may exacerbate equipment failure, causing the suspended props to shake violently and even leading to the serious consequence of props falling. This will not only completely disrupt the performance rhythm, but also pose a huge threat to the lives of both the performers on stage and the backstage staff. In a word, if a sudden hoist jamming incident occurs during a stage performance, the first thing staff need to do is stay calm and respond calmly in strict accordance with the standardized procedures mentioned above. Always keep in mind the principle that safety comes first, and prioritize personnel safety over ensuring a smooth performance. Only in this way can we minimize the occurrence of accidents and safeguard the stability and safety of the stage performance.
