Ever seen somebody get injured badly or pass out at a concert?

Last night during Weezer's set, my buddy said he had to go to the washroom, and while he was walking down our row, he passed out and hit his head on a seat. I ran over to him and pulled him out into the aisle, and he kept coming to and passing back out again. Everybody just kind of stood there with a stupid look on their face while I was trying to wake him up. Finally, a security guard came and helped carry him to the first aid room. Turns out he was exhausted from staying up and drinking for the 3 nights prior. Freaky experience.

The worst i've ever seen was this fight in the front of Del the Funkee Homosapien's show, and he was stopped playing and told everyone to peace or leave. This guy probably got his nose broken.

At Warped Tour last year, I was with a group of about 8 or 9 friends. During Say Anything's set, some asshole crowdsurfer with Timberland boots on kicked my friend Trisha in the head. She passed out. Her boyfriend flipped haha, picked her up fireman style and carried her out to the medical facility place. I've never seen that look on his face before.

I did the same exact thing during Say Anything's set. :shrug:

Except I knew the girl and she didn't pass out.

Haha it was insane man. But the medical facilities were basically backstage, so we got to go there for the rest of Weezer's set.

I once wet my pants because I didn't want to miss any of the set.

Can't tell if I'm serious, can you? ;-)

I got dropped crowd surfing last year at Warped and landed on my head passed out for awhile. And the year before at Warped during Paramore the punk rock lifers were stirring shit up and moshing and I jumped in and had not drank any water all day and got punched in the chest and just passed out by the gate. This year was okay though haha partially because I left four hours early because the bands there are all shitty

I had a person do a front flip off the stage onto me and my friend at a local show. The crowd was pretty thin in the first place because it was a local show and as if two little weakling girls like us could catch a full grown man whilst turning is beyond me. I woke up on the floor minutes later with my friend's body underneath me. It happened really fast, so I just remember seeing this person flying towards me. I was okay after a little while but my friend got roughed up pretty badly. /brootal.

i hate when people just stand there and stare. it's like, goddamn get somebody! i went to a concert where this girl passed out on her way to the bathroom too, because it was ridiculously hot. everyone kinda just stared... wtf. it was in the middle of a song, so it was loud. i yelled at her friends to come get her, and i yelled at people to go get some help. i was just in disbelief on how people just stood there and stared.

I almost passed out at a death cab / killers concert because I was so thirsty. I felt all dizzy and started seeing only black. haha it was kind of freaky.

and my rips have been bruised hella bad from hitting up against the bar front row... haha.

Nothing serious though.

Oh shoot i do have a story! I was at a tech n9ne concert and this girl was getting super annoying and wouldn't leave me alone, and kept dragging me to the front where i got dehydrated and started feeling and sick and i ended up walking back to my dorm nearly dead. I still hate her.

They way I worded made it seem funny. It wasn't. Just sucky.

I saw some dude lying face down during Enter Shikari at Reading Festival while some guy kicked him. Everyone was too scared to do anything. It was scary.

Heatstroke at Radiohead last year (fuck you chicago and your 105 degree summers) and a broken nose at BOTH the Reel Big Fish shows I've been to. That was not fun.

I hate getting hurt at concerts haha. I want dancing, not moshing :(

At an Alexisonfire show last year, a girl passed out in the mosh, and people started trampling her. Me and a few guys grabbed her and dragged her out the best we could, and the security took her. She was pretty beat up, it was awful. I've witnessed countless little incidents at shows that just piss me off. People really don't have any respect for other people any more.

I saw a guy's eye dripping with blood. Pretty much looked like he was crying blood. I have no idea how he got it though. It just looked gross as hell.

This. I had a huge knot from some huge dude kneeing me in the cheek as he passed. That was lovely.

at lollapalooza this year a women passed out and they got her out of the crowd and laid her on the ground in front of the barricade and she was seizuring on the ground while one of the security guards slowly walked over to the other side of the stage to get the medical people and they all took their time getting back to her and strapped her onto a rolling chair type thing and dragged her away. by that point she was limp and i was pretty sure she was dead until i saw her flinch a couple times.

I've got kicked in the head many times by crowd surfers. The last time it happened I thought I was going to pass out! I was getting sleepy and was sort of loopy after it happened. Other than that I have gotten some pretty nasty bruises.

As far as other people's injuries I have seen lots of people get hurt. There isn't one that really sticks out in my mind.

someone almost ripped out my eyebrow ring while trying to catch rian's drumstick from All Time Low at the end of a show.

this girl behind me wanted to be at the front (i was second to front) and she was pushing right between me and some random and we were both getting really pissy at her. she was like "i need to be at the front coz i'm pregnant" what fucking stupid 14 yr old teenie lol. i was laughing so hard and at the same time a shoved her back and stomped on her foot. we lost her through the show which was bloody fantastic (:

Ouch.:-(


Last year at Extreme Thing, I was wearing flats, (stupid decision I know), and my feet were getting stepped on. The next day they were black purple from all the bruising and I also had bruises all over my back from crowd surfers. But I don' think I've had anything too serious. But this year at Extreme Thing, one of my friends actually got a broken rib.

Whenever there's a crowd surfer coming by me, I'm tall enough where I can just throw him away from me so that I don't get kicked in the head.

We stuck gum in a girls hair because she came running through to the front and was sweaty and fat.

At a Rise Against concert earlier this summer, i got elbowed in the throat by some chick and couldnt breathe and it was hard enough to breathe with all the people pushing up against eachother and once your in the pit, you're basically stuck there. It was a rough concert haha

last year at warped tour my friend got her toenail ripped off (the idiot wore flip flops!) when some people decied to start a moshpit during relient k's set. it was only like the second song and they were the first band we actually wanted to watch.

the only injuries i've gotten though were some bruises and i've been hit in the head a few times too. but i've figured out that i'm shot enough to duck a little and avoid most crowdsurfers if the crowd is thick enough. lol

That's because you go to Of Montreal and Death Cab concerts ;)

Broken nose at Rise Against, black eye at Propagandhi, shins pretty kicked up at Los Campesinos!, dropped body passing at Queens Of The Stone age, and got thrown to the ground by a big guy at that show (I was 14), and unintentionally tripped on LSD at Radiohead at Lolla (I'll call that getting hurt).

At warped this year we were watching Hit The Lights and these kids were running down the asle in the pavillion and jummping off a kids back bent over to crowd surf. Well the first guy fell quick and then everyone figured out what they were doing and didnt want kicked so right as the next kid goes everyone moved out of the way. He landed Head first into the cement and started siezuring. We got security over and after the song Nick from HTL asked what was going on... Took a while to get him out.

Greatest part is the next song HTL played was Bodybag as they were getting him on to the stretcher! LOL
