Bummer April 1st
April 1, 1958: Takarazuka Revue performer Katsuki Hiromi is killed when her clothes catch on the stage lift on which she is riding. According to the website Takarazuka Forever: “She was wearing an underskirt with a metal band about the waist and when her costume became stuck there was no way to free herself. Her feet were dragged into the moving mechanism and the metal band cut into her torso, killing her. Following her death the lifts had safety guards installed, the speed at which they were dropped and raised was slowed, and all metal costume parts were removed and replaced with bamboo.”
