I was looking at the use of chain to suspend the truss. Specifically how it is only attached to the top chord and there is no basket with steel tex or a bracket designed to clamp the truss.  I did see the projector though... 

I also just question the project management.  There seems to be a lot technology in that room for dust making operations to not have concluded.

+1 the chain looks like they just got a chain from lowes or something.  Hopefully they put safety cables on the fixture as well as some aircraft cable as a backup to the main chain.

Having technology in the room at the same time as dust is unavoidable sometimes but, at least leave the plastic on it and tape it up to seal it. I do that with speakers all the time, but I would never do it without a cover.

Either A; I'ts too late at night or 2; I've had too much to drink, but I see none of what you see.  I see a picture totally out of context so there's no way to know if this is under construction, in the middle of a remodel, being torn down or just some photoshopped crap.  How anyone can look at that pic and draw any conclusion is beyond me. But post it on the internet and you'll get all kinds of opinions.

That was a picture from when this church was still under construction. Not sure of dimensions, but it seats about 500. There is no balcony. The lights have not yet been hung in this picture.

I was referring more to the speaker hangs. The church folks decided they would do this whole install themselves. I had no part.

There are 2 hangs of 4 and 2 hangs of 3 VRX932 with 2 xti6002 running each hang. There is also 1 VP7212 delayed speaker about 15ft in front of the main speakers with 1 more VP7212 as a center downfill.

Maybe this pic will give better perspective. Sorry for quality

Did church members do the system design, too?  The only thing I can see that looks like a safety issue is the use of the chain slings to hang the truss, and the way the truss was hung (already mentioned).  Chain slings must be removed from service annually and inspected before returning them to service.  This is a OSHA requirement.  Wire rope slings do not have this requirement, IIRC.

It's easy to pick on this install based on the picture but in fairness I've seen installs from "folks who should know better" that are this silly (or worse).  Fraud AV, anyone?

I believe you are right. However how many churches actually follow this stuff anyway.
