Burning Man's infamous Orgy Dome, a large tent offering a consensual space for couples and groups, was destroyed by strong winds before the festival even started. Around 5,000 people attended last year. The incident is reminiscent of other festival disasters, highlighting the challenges of organizing large-scale events in unpredictable environments. This year, the Orgy Dome will not be operational, but organizers plan to hold workshops instead.
