Nah he wouldn’t have been hurt by the actual fall I don’t think as it fell away from the mosh (he would have landed on top not underneath).

However, what the other people would have done to him..

Exactly. At least in a modern townie nightclub, when people kick off usually SIA approved guards separate them before too much damage is done, and rather than act the hero (unless they are genuinely being attacked) they tend to genuinely use minimum force, detain and handover both combatants to the Police. Also its relatively hard to get a knife or other weapon into a legal venue these days, whereas many folk attending unlicensed events keep all sorts of weapons in their cars, for instance how many folk do we (or did we know) what have a baseball or cricket bat yet aren’t exactly “sportsmen?”

although violence at these events is comparatively rare, when it does happen it tends to be swift and brutal and usually some shocked girl (quite righltly) calls from an Ambulance. which (as the crews are told to beware of their safety) usually arrives along with the Police…..

GL i’ve played at Tunnel Crew nights that they do in a pub in Wycombe and they still have rig monkey’s climbing the speakers in there… i’ve lost count of the times i’ve told people to get off and they’re like… WHY???? if i wasn’t so concerned about the speakers i’d let the little fukers get squashed…. they all swing from the stack when the technos on and you can see the speakers moving… lol

thing is if someone does get squashed I bet their parents will be straight on to both TVP and worse their lawyers as well trying to launch a civil case against both the pub and the event promoters…

the last few EA events I went to had the rigs propped up at the back by all manner of heavy items.

At least the rigs didn’t go over, but it meant the moosers climbed to the roofs of barns, haystacks etc and fell off those instead, usually requiring a fair few of the NHS’s finest to haul their broken bodies back to the nearest Emergency Department. When they started getting as many bodies in as the townie clubs in rural pisshead areas (and also having to deploy out to the middle of fucking nowhere at weekends when Eastamb is already being judged harshly for missing response times) the ambulance service basically said to the cops “why can’t you close down these dangerous events?”
