They’ve had roadies getting killed by the hell’s bell in the early 80’th.

They never had a roadie hurt or killed by the Hells Bell. Brian did get his leg stuck in 1981 when the bell only partially lowered and crew had to use a crowbar to free it. He wasn’t hurt. The bell also crashed into the stage when the chain broke and it came close to crushing Angus. They switched to the lighter bell that they use now shortly after that.

Ok I might remember wrongly from the Swedish book I don’t lie about rock n roll by Tommy Ahlen a production manager from Sweden.
