Bump-out

One company in particular, TAE, also played to tens of thousands of schools students in the Northern Territory and Queensland.[…]By the end of 1999, after years of hard yakka and a few too many bump-ins and outs, some full time company members were growing tired - including of being permanently ‘broke’.

In the event industry there are two critical times when safety is often compromised, at bump-in and at bump-out. At bump-in the organizer is usually pressed for time and it is not uncommon for installers to work around the clock. At the end of the show or exhibition, bump-out carries an even higher risk as everyone is exhausted.
