By Rebecca Moon, NextShark, Yahoo | Fans attending a concert for the boy band Mirror were left shocked after a giant screen fell and crushed a dancer’s neck, potentially paralyzing him from the waist down.
At the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom on Friday, Mo Lee Kai-yin, 27, was hit on the head by a giant 16-by-10-foot screen that crashed onto his neck. Another dancer, Chang Tsz-fung, 29, was also injured in the incident.
The concert was halted and both dancers were immediately transported to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Three women attending the concert, aged 16, 21 and 40, were treated for shock while one was sent to the hospital.
Mo dislocated the third and fourth sections of his cervical vertebrae, leaving him unable to move.
After an overnight procedure and another eight-hour surgery, doctors were able to stabilize the dancer. Potential paralysis from the neck down will depend on his recovery process and whether his damaged nerves grow back.
Mo’s family members have arrived from Canada, and the Health Bureau has arranged for them to make a hospital visit.
Chang was discharged from the hospital on Friday afternoon.
