Forget skydiving and promiscuous sex, concert-going has recently emerged as the most dangerous pastime. 1 person died and as many as 40 others were injured when a stage collapsed while country music singer Billy Currington was performing at the Big Valley Jamboree, one of Canada's biggest country music festivals. Currington himself received several lacerations on his face, and one of his band members was taken to the hospital after being pulled from the wreckage with a serious arm injury. Witnesses said that the power went out and the stage just sort of "crumbled." A strong thunderstorm that produced "hurricane level" winds and marble-sized hail is thought to have contributed to the stage's collapse. With the collapse of a stage in Marseille, France that was being constructed for a Madonna concert, that makes two people that have been killed in the last month by concert stages. Perhaps the only good thing to come out of this is that the performances for the rest of the evening were cancelled after the stage collapsed. How is that a good thing you ask? Kevin Costner and his band Modern West were scheduled to perform next.
