Eye damage at Tomorrowland ?

[gashead]

Reports like this worry me, it's giving the laser show industry a bad name, all these eye injury's.

However as someone said, we don't know the facts yet - I'm sure ILDA will get involved to try to work out what happened and keep up the good name.

Now we have two countries on the list:
Russia
Belgium

I hate to be in second place

Aren't the Jenlas monsters pulsed?

ILDA has a paid staff of ONE. And if your going to depend on ILDA, you might want to join or donate to ILDA.

Whatever happened to ELA?

Actually I am a paid member :P I just don't gloat about it or use the "member of ILDA graphic"

What I was getting at is I assume ILDA will make similar investigations as they did with the "russian incident"

Easy now.

Interesting to see Wonderland have no videos of the event on their web site and all the pictures are of the grounds in the day - not a laser in sight.

ID&T seem to have taken down their Youtube videos as a link from the ID&T facebook page comes up page not found.

I did find an independent video though;

Dosen't look excessive to me (not that you can tell from a video) but it definitely looks as though the pics may have been photo shopped to improve them. Also the cameras taking direct hits without either excessive artefacts or visible damage.

There are some other videos on there that look much brighter and are taken from closer in the crowd but again I'm not seeing camera damage or CCD overload so its very strange.

retina is softer than silicium, and it also burns easily
