What exactly went wrong with the wire harness system?

Question

Accepted Answer

No specific fault in the wire harness system has been publicly detailed
No specific detail has been released on exactly what went wrong with the wire harness system beyond a preliminary finding that it involved improper handling. Wang Leehom has said his foot became caught in a cable, which led to his fall and his left side striking the metal stage edge during the July 4 Chengdu show.
What Wang Leehom said caused the fall during the July 4 show
Wang said that while moving from a platform onto a staircase, his foot became caught in a cable, causing him to fall and hit the edge of the metal stage. Videos circulating online also showed him tripping over a safety harness during that movement, after he had earlier been lowered onto the stage using the same harness system.
What the injuries were after the fall
The fall injured the left side of his face, with his left ear taking the impact while he was wearing a hard in-ear monitor. He later received 27 stitches to his ear and 12 stitches to his face, totalling 39 stitches, and a CT scan reportedly showed no damage to his brain or skull.
What his management agency said about the harness system
His management agency stated that preliminary findings suggested the accident was caused by improper handling of the wire harness system. The agency also triggered an internal review into safety procedures at the concert, but it did not specify whether the issue was mechanical failure, operator error, or a design or setup problem.
What happened next after the incident
Wang continued performing after the fall, using only his right ear monitor, and his management said his remaining Chengdu performance would proceed as scheduled, subject to medical clearance. The internal review was initiated in parallel with the plan for the rest of the Chengdu dates, which were scheduled from July 3 to 5 at Dong’an Lake Sports Park main stadium.
