Same! My first metal show ever was Underoath at Warped Tour. I went down, and accidentally grabbed a girl's boob on the way down trying to stop myself from falling. She helped me up. I still felt weird about it and wiggled away from her...lol
I was in the pit for Slipknot a couple days ago. Shit was intense, nobody died though. I saw 5FDP and the security manhandled a girl, so the singer stopped the show immediately and handled the situation.
I've been in pits for Slayer, Deicide, Fear Factory, GWAR and hundreds of others. Every single one of them, no matter how violent you would immediately be picked up if you fell. I remember being manhandled at one show because I fell down, some absolute giant just picked me up like I was nothing.
The only time I ever got injured was some broken ribs while crowd surfing.
i have experienced many real mosh pits and hardcore punk slam dancing
although it looks totally insane and violent , i can assure you the crowd looks out for each other and will help you up if you fall.
so yeah im calling bullshit on the moshpit theory
Yup. We always picked up the ones that fell. (I was one of them)
Always get them up!
Also. Look for the guy trying to throw punches and actually hurt people. Take him out.
