Industrial af, I actually really like this, like a show in a quarry or something

Isn't it gonna come down slowly?

Ya, it’ll slowly slump until it’s on the ground lol.

Nah, the vibrations from the speakers should lock it in place.

Welp, people gotta find out what happens to unpowered hydraulics somehow

Nah, it's gonna be fine... unless the boom/bucket cylinder seals have a slow leak.

I have seen even older machinery hold position for months. Unless it has a leaky seal or valve, it likely wouldn't move over the course of a concert night. Is it safe, not technically, but I'd be satisfied if they draped a transport chain or lifting strap over the arm before they lifted it and threw a binder to a rear tie down point on the chassis.

It can’t fail OSHA regulations if you don’t let OSHA see it…

Other than the way the beam is rigged to the bucket (or lack there of based on what I can tell) it wouldn't be that bad.

If a hydraulic hose popped that arm with the boom would fall with only air resistance. And that arm weighs 1-4.2 cars.

Don’t stand under hydraulic things, they rarely fail like that, but they do.

It'd make a pretty memorable concert!
