Why does security take crowd surfers

For some people, crowd surfing, moshing and stage diving are part of the culture of the music scene and they accept the risks. For others, it's dangerous and antisocial, and it can cause serious injury both to the crowd surfer and the people below. A study by Airedale NHS Trust at a three-day music festival in August , with 60, people a day attending, recorded 43 crowd surfing injuries. The study, Crowd surfing - Who is at risk?

Injuries to crowd members were mainly to the head and neck. The surfers suffered mostly head and neck sprains and lower limb injuries. If your caught crowd surfing around the venues on long island u get thrown out of the show. Some of the bigger shows like at the colliseum or in nyc they allow it and when the guards grab you, you walk around the barricades to the back of the pit where u re enter:thu:.

They ended up in my part of the crowd 3 or 4 times and it seemed each time one of them would manage to catch me in the ear or something with his toe. So the last time they came tumbling down right in front of me I hit one of them so hard his grandmother probably died right in the side of the face. When people crowd surf, and hit me in the head with their hot topic boots, I clench my fist, wind up the best I can and deliver a deathblow thats sure to smash their testicles into their asshole.

Same goes for the assnapkins that started a pit at the last Rev. Horton Heat show I was at. Dont crowd surf by me with heavy ass boots, or a nutsack nuclear assault will go down. Insurgent of the testicle- thats who I am. Maybe even a religious freedom fighter of nutsack abuse. If people hit me with converses, or whatever- then it really isnt a big deal.

I just dont like dudes in jungle boots throwing em around my face like a wrecking ball. Start new topic. Recommended Posts.

It all hurts. No flips, no trying to get recognized by the band members, no being super obnoxious before the final descent.

Crowd surfing helps people find a sense of community and feel a deeper connection to the music. Skylar De Paul covers music.
