Too many regulations and too many regulators are detrimental to the funeral industry. Indiana has their priorities right; a few years ago.. Because it was not technically a "structure," the stage and scaffolding that collapsed and killed 5 people at the Indiana State Fair on Saturday was not subject to any inspection or regulation whatsoever. A spokesman for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, which is charged with inspecting buildings, elevators, and rides, tells the Indianapolis Star, "There is no permitting process" for erecting such a stage. "There is no regulation on it. We do not regulate putting up of scaffolding in a business or an entertainment setting or anything of that type." gothamist.com
