    Where are you getting that information? This is the same hardware used to build stadium seating in more local venues.

      It doesn’t take a rocket scientist. Gravity is pulling down, the clamps are only holding via very strong friction and metal will expand or contract in different temperatures (although it’s unlikely to change much indoors). Add any form of support from below and it will become as strong and reliable as you could ever want. Don’t add any form of support and someday, in the middle of the dark night, you’re going to slide and potentially launch yourself into floor headfirst if you’re not careful.

      Murphy’s Law - Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

        You have never worked construction and have never seen how much they can hold up. Nothing wrong with that.

          If scaffolding is a permanent structure then something is very wrong with the construction in your town.

            Who says that is permanent? Also correctly assembled and inspected scaffold will often be in place for years on many construction sites. In any town or construction zone in every place on earth. Truth is you really don’t understand what you are talking about.
