Ever seen a mishap?

RE: Ever seen a mishap?
Last time I went, Helen's tower did not fall. many times they seem to not set up the wall pieces which the airplane hits when flying over the wall. I have always liked it when the aircraft actually hit those foam pieces because it really sold the effect. I was never able to get a photo of it doing so.

I just went this weekend on my B Day and the explosion didn't go off when the mariner did his ski jump. The wall curtain opened up and it took about 15 seconds for the skier to come out. the And I havent seen the wall pieces in a while.

Thats right about there always being something that goes wrong in the show. I would say about 1 out 4 times that I see the show, nothing will go wrong. It amazes me how they plan it out to make it look like to the general auidence who never really see the show that nothing went wrong.

Many times I have scene the jet skier fall off, certain explosions don't go off, and the Sky boat not lauch (usually I assume from winds) which is very common.

Recently I have seen at the climax when Helen shoots the Decon with the flare only the flare made it half way up the rope then stopped where it fizzeled out. Then the Decon still got set on fire, proving that the two are not connected.

I think there's a small box that triggers a flame located directly on the railing. That's how that fire dive is accomplished.
