has anyone got hurt in a Mosh Pit?

[BlAzInIt4:20]

Well i went to a concert yesterday, and some fat bitch ran into my car sorry just had to write that out... But i was moshing the whole time and was elbowed right in the Jaw. FUCK it hurt. my ears wouldn't pop after this happen, and my hearing went in and out, he got me good lol. But i kept going good thing i had drinks in me...

Anyone else here Mosh? Or have been hurt during a Mosh?

[WesMan6868]

moshing is the only reason i go to concerts haha. i got owned in the mosh pit, i was elbowed right above my eye and it started to bleed so i had to go to a med tent and get a patch over it but it was hella fun. i got owned at OZZFEST but it was totally worth it, i was high so the blood dribbling outa the cut felt hella crazy :D

anyone else????

[4gan2ja0]

when i used to wear glasses they got knocked off my face and stomped to shit. also this other time a guy elbowed me in the nose and ive had a bump ever since

[jdub61]

one of my friends got kicked in the face by a crowd surfer, i believe it was on the cheekbone underneath his eye, at a Reel Big Fish concert bout 2 summers ago. he was bleeding like crazy, totally ruined the concert obviously...

[Weedhound]

Did your hearing ever come back?

[Pipe Dreams]

Man I was at a NOFX concert a few years ago.. The whole damn thing was a moshpit. Im standing on on the outside of the actually moshpit (if the whole thing was a moshpit, imagine what the actual moshpit was like) Some fucker in a HIM shirt just walked up to me and punched me in the nose! Busted that bitch wide OPEN! I reached up to my face and came back with blood, so I popped him back and the face and put him on his ass. I still to this day have no idea who that kid was, why he hit me, or why the fuck he didnt run away as soon as he hit me.

Anyways, Flogging Molly concert, moshing moshing moshing, LOST SHOE, trip, trampled a bit, then someone yanked me up as they were running around moshing. Nice cats.:thumbsup:

[Pipe Dreams]

Haha Ive seen people throw pipes and bags of weed on stage at bands before :D I wish I was famous so people would throw weed at me :)

[Nocturnal Stoner]

got elbowed in the face and my mate got hit in the eye with a flying drumstick

[Canuckofithaca]

im sporting a killer black eye now cause i got elbowed hard in the eye at a social d gig earlier this month

[bloodmasta]

i love mosh pits, i allway get hurt but when im in a pit i have soo much adrenaline i dont feel the pain :D

[BlAzInIt4:20]

i was at ozzfest too, back stage BABY!!!!! it was the shit. Lamb of God was so good, one of the best light shows. i saw a guy lay out a chick at full force, then beat her mans ass, and he had to be air lifted... CRAZY:stoned::stoned:

[WesMan6868]

thats hella sick, i gotta get me some back stage passes to ozzfest!!!

[TheFatKid]

I go to shows all the time, and get fucked up in the pit. The worst injury I ever got was a kick to the head by a 300 pound skinhead at a Hatebreed show. I don't really like hardcore dancing and two stepping because that shit is stupid as hell, but I love circle pits.

[MFer]

Haha yo Pipe Dreams, Flogging Molly mosh pits are the best. Everyone is just looking out for each other. Some kid a bit taller than me when I saw them was falling backwards from being hit. I reached out for him, but 4 big guys pushed me out of the way to pick him up and get him to his feet before he hit the ground.

This 40 year old couple saved my friends ass from getting toppled by a pretty large dood. Also that really big guy caught my friend when he was flying from getting hit.

I think that really big guy was also the guy that had his nose ring ripped out later that night in the pit :(

[snowblind]

ahh drumsticks, i have a million dead drumstick, caught it. being tall has its advantages

[Snake2389]

been to a few moshing concerts, busted a lip few times, gets annoying, so i just go to reggae shows to chill

[nightlight]

Anyone else here Mosh? Or have been hurt during a Mosh?

i was all about circle pits like 4 years ago. after some unwanted injuries i gave it up, aside from once in a while when my friends badn will play and i know everyone watching well enough to not get the shit beaten out of me by any of them.

[RedLocks]

bitches please!!! Getting kicked in the head or elbowed is the best ya can do? hehe j/k (not joking actually bwaaaa)... worst I have experienced is got hit at just the wrong moment while I was spinning around, got layed out mid air, fell flat on my back and got my head stomped on a few times.. some diesel picked my ass up and out to the ring. Shook it off and jumped back in only to realize I didn't think I could stand anymore so I left the pit and went over by the wall where my peoples were at. Long story short For about two weeks my pupils were dilated from a severe concussion and if I did anything besides sit on my ass (even driving was too much) I started to get dizzy and have some small hallucinations...
edit:: heh just read the thing about losing hearing, when this happened to me everyones voice had some loud pitched screeching noise on top of it, like feedback from a speaker.. I couldn't understand anything, I just kept going, huh? huh? huh?
and yeah... damn those fucking 6 foot 5 skin heads with the combat boots kicking people!!!
Nazi Punks Nazi Punks Nazi Punks FUCK OFF!!!

[4twentE]

Not really hurt, but hit. I love moshing, but I hate those punk-ass mother fuckers who go into a mosh pit to throw licks. This guy came and punched me straight in the stomach. I was gonna start a brawl with him right then and there, but we were immediately bumped away from each other. I later ducked down behind him and mad him fall backwards over me. He got stomped a couple times before he got back up. I felt that was revenge enough. My worst time getting hurt was being dropped right on my head while crowd surfing.

[Diary of a Madman]

Ive gotten a wrist spike in the eye.

My friend though, was standing still in the back with his knee locked, and someone ran into him. I wish I knew the exact extent of the injuries, but he had surgery on his knee after he got speared. Leg kinda bent backwards.

[WidespreadJazz420]

at the shows i go to, moshing is unheard of, it would be interesting to see a mosh pit at like String Cheese Incident or Widespread Panic, but i dont think it will ever happen

[TOOL9]

Am i the only one who thinks moshing is just about the stupidest and most pointless thing any human being can do?????

[Reefer Rogue]

My friends g/f got knocked out in a night club, too many crazy drum n bass ravers, ha.

Personally i think all this mosh pit stuff is fucking stupid.

[4twentE]

Yeah, I don't think you're likely to see one at a jam band concert.

[baisez le monde.]

I went to a hardcore show on Friday, frying fucking balls. Needless to say I'm covered in bruises. Ha at one point I rammed into this huge ass guy and I ended up falling flat on my ass. But the awesome part was that almost instantly, a couple guys picked me up and I just kept on moshing.

[TheFatKid]

Hardcore moshing is STUPID as all fuck. Whenever I go to hardcore shows, I wear clothes to mock them, and during the breakdowns I run to the middle of the pit and either start skanking or just doing stupid shit. Hardcore kids are the biggest pussies I know. Every time I go to a hardcore show, someone tries fighting me like the pseudo toughguys they are for fucking pushing them when they come close to the crowd.

[birdgirl73]

Hello, Baissez! Good to see you here.

You know, I read this thread last night and felt rather proud--but also hopelessly old and beyond the times--to admit that I've not only never been hurt in a mosh pit. I've never even been in a mosh pit at all. Thick crowds at Wal-Mart are trauma enough for this old soul . . . .

[Bob the Awesome]

I only really 'moshed' once, at an MSI concert, for a short period, but those shows don't get big, out of control moshes. I guess I can see how moshing without killing anyone could be kinda like dancing, but it's not worth going to a concert to get kicked in the face :(

scared to ask what ya consider a hardcore show, sounds like bizzaro world compared to the NYC/NJ scene

[cannabis=freedom]

Am i the only one who thinks moshing is just about the stupidest and most pointless thing any human being can do?????

I agree, man. I've never been to a concert that featured a mosh pit (since I've only been to Aerosmith and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd), and I just don't get it.

I want to go to a show to chill with some nice weed and enjoy the music, not slam around with a bunch of folks.

[Spoken Word]

^Exactly.
I've never understood it. And most likely never will. I don't like pain.

[baisez le monde.]

Eh, moshing is a good way to get out some aggression without creating animosity. And also, I have a pain fetish so there, that's my excuse.

[Its a Plant]

Yeah most of the shows I go to (aside from PRIMUS last year) are full of a bunch of free-loving hippies, where moshing is replaced with erratic flailing of the arms with glow sticks haha.

Both are equally dangerous.

But I'll admit, I kicked an ass or two at Primus. God that was sweet. ~

Same here baisez... I just got a new tat too lol all done by a needle 3 hours long, felt good lmao..

I don't get why people get so angry because of other people. SO WHAT if we mosh, its our way of releasing.. I didn't expect everyone to like moshing but don't give us a bad name.. And to thefatKid... If you were running around like an idiot in the moshes i was in you would of been OWNED !!!!

[dark0ne]

Whent to go see slayer, with soulfly about 4 years ago. The pit was insaine, people were going nuts for soulfly. When slayer came out they announced that they would be playing all old stuff. The whole floor opened up i noticed i was standing in the middle of evrything. i ended up getting hit in the face by some little kid. then they played angle of death, i got punched, kicked, some crowed surfer fell on me, and i broke my finger........ the good middle one too. It was ok though, i had 5 joints left for the ride home.

yea sometimes I want to "release" on the face of certain people but it's not a safe way of "releasing".
you can hurt yourself.. and worse, someone else.

LMAO the exact same situation happened to me when i went in a mosh pit before! it waz awesome! it waz nice when a guy yanked me up when i got knocked down too:rasta:!

[sordid]

I love the pit, never been hurt that bad besides the usual bloody lips/noses and shit like that, though.

[psychocat]

Moshing came from the Psychobilly and Punk crowd.
Psychos call it wrecking and it's been around for a lot of years now , I once got a black eye about 10 seconds after getting on the floor.
Rules of Wrecking are:
Have fun
Never try to injure another wrecker
If someone falls then the nearest people pick him up .
Anyone trying to cause injuries is forced out.
If you can't take it don't get in.

Safe Wrecking everyone, you can call it moshing if ya want but it will always be The Mutant Wrecking Krew for me.

[Nightrafe]

The pit is were we live, when I go to metal gigs, you can always find me in the pit. Not when I go to hardcore events, I'm not so into two-stepping

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I've had my nose bloodied more than once.

[Weedhound]

I've had my nose bloodied more than once.

Mrs GJ are you SERIOUS? :eek: You are one wild woman. :D:thumbsup:

[sonic titan]

There's a gig
At 5th and Main
Gonna catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash

The band kickes in
They begin to rage
No-man's land
In front of the stage
Poseurs in the bathroom
Still looking at their hair
Thrashers in the foreground
Doing what they dare

In the pit

Thrashing and slamming
Like hell in the pit
Tomorrow they know
May not come
Banging and moshing
Like they don't give a shit
To the rapid beat
Of the drum

A boot to your forehead
A knee in your face
Your nose and lips
Start to bleed
Like a wild Indian
From outer space
Drunk and
High on weed

Guitar seems so fucking loud
People walking on the crowd
Diving off the P.A. stacks
Breaking ankles,necks and backs
Then the circle begins
In the thrashing pit
Fist are flying
People getting hit
Tooth chippers left and right
Skinheads in another fight
Banging heads and broken jaws
Because there are no laws

In the pit

Then you start thrashing
Like never before
Stagediving, headwalking like mad
Doing your thing
All over the floor
The best time that you've ever had

You are hurt all over
But can't feel a thing
Not until the next day
Then you wake up
Stiff as a board
And the pain won't go away

Another gig at 5th and Main
We'll catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash

In the pit

Now, psychocat knows what they are talking about..

It is just dancing in a different form..punk started this shit a long time ago..in the late 70's, early 80's..it has morphed many times but always came back to the originall..just a way for people to get their aggresion out and feel better..

PUNKS NOT DEAD!

also psychocat, I have stared at that sig..so many times..I love the cramps.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Mrs GJ are you SERIOUS? :eek: You are one wild woman. :D:thumbsup:
LOL! That was a long time ago. Last time I was in a pit was 3 years ago.

[Metaphor]

haha one time my friend got kicked in the face 'skanin' or w/e that ska shit is called
