09.02.12 | A good friend of mine went to a show last night with his girlfriend. Right as the set for some shitty metalcore act started, a pit formed right where they were standing, and she took a boot to the face. Now she is going to need plastic surgery to repair the damage to her cheek(teeth were jammed all the way up into her gums and out through her cheek), and she has a broken nose and a shattered sinus. |

09.02.12 | Hey, my original account was in honor to testament and my high school football team.
Plus, pits were cool when it wasn't a bunch of skinny jean-wearing fucks throwing their tiny fists around like they have epilepsy. |
KILL
09.02.12 | honestly though maybe she should learn to waltz? or if it was a gay metalcore band i guess swing your arms around like a faggot but yea i'm sure it was an accident as homos dont usually attack others! |

09.02.12 | "shouldn't have seen a shitty metalcore band and stood near the pit."
that's like saying 'you shouldn't have been standing on the sidewalk' when the person is hit by a drive-by shooter
you're retarded |

09.02.12 | "shouldn't have seen a shitty metalcore band and stood near the pit."
It's kind of hard to get away from the pit when it just forms around you and you get knocked out 5 seconds into the first song. |

When the ambulance showed up and started putting her on the stretcher(she was out cold), my boy Kevin went after a group of kids who said the exact same thing andcas just said. Kids ran away the second he started going after them. |

09.02.12 | I don't hate pits as much as I hate stage divers. The worst fucking people. You can move out of the way from pits pretty easily. But those assholes will take anyone down |

It was a her little brother's band opening up for 2 other local acts.
"shut the fuck up someguest. it's not hard to know where it forms and move somewhere else. what band was it anyways intotheshit?"
There's been plenty of shows where a pit formed around me that I didn't see coming. Don't be a fucking tool, andcas. |

same logic rape apologists use.
you're taking the responsibility away from the mawshers to not assault the people around them who are minding their own business and you're putting the responsibility on everyone else to settle for a dangerous standing area.
all in all shoving and fucking around is fine but i hate those pricks who windmill |

JackSparrow
09.02.12 | The front isn't really the best place either unless you're to one side of the stage, because you're where all the crowd surfers will end up. I've had my share of hits taken from moshers and surfers, you really gotta keep in tune with whats going on around you. |

Makes plenty of sense. You're just too dense or ignorant to understand it. |

Emim
09.02.12 | sucks but i can't help feeling it could have easily been avoided |
intotheshit
09.02.12 | Well, when I went and saw her in the hospital, Kevin told me it happened within 5 seconds of the first song, so I don't know how it could have been avoided Emim. |
ReturnOfTheDnor
09.02.12 | If I'm ever at a show that I know a stupid pit is going to break out in, I always stand near a wall, but from the sounds of it, I can tell she was just trying to watch her brother's band and the thought of an idiot trying too hard to "express the anger inside him through dance" blindsiding her never crossed her mind.
I hope she recovers quickly man. Never like hearing about people getting hurt at shows. Music is meant to be enjoyed. |
Emim
09.02.12 | pits usually start in pretty obvious places
idk, maybe it couldn't have been avoided and maybe it could have. doesn't matter either way and i still hate the windmilling little fucks that populate every show |
intotheshit
09.02.12 | I've stood near walls before, and I've stood in the middle. Pits can start anywhere. I understand that pits usually start in the center of the floor, but I've seen them start a foot away from the wall as well. |
ReturnOfTheDnor
09.02.12 | Oh for sure, but in 99% of the cases, the closer to the wall you are, the less likely of getting caught up in a fagfest like that. I mean, anything's possible, and seeing how she got a boot within 5 seconds of the song starting, doesn't sound like she had time to realize she was in a bad place and somebody was coming at her. It's really a shame man. |
Emim
09.02.12 | needed to happen at a hardcore show |
AdamK
09.02.12 | at dumb metalcore shows kids actually try to kick girls in the face so you gotta watch out |

09.02.12 | I enjoy mosh pits, though there's a difference between moshing and throwing punches/kicking.
Sucks for the girlfriend, really not sure what else anyone can say.
For the curious here's a great opinion piece from the BBC about moshing/daily life and how they compare/what lessons can be taken away from either: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19335267 |

JoshTh
09.02.12 | I enjoy moshing when its basically a bunch of people trying to get as close as possible to the stage, but still not trying to hurt anyone. I've seen mosh pits where it was basically a bunch of over weight teenagers showing other teenagers how awesome their donkey kicks are. Hope your friends gets better though

Evreaia
09.02.12 | hardcore moshing is probably the most homoerotic thing ever all the best to your friend. [2]
Most bands I go to don't have pits but when they do I always hate it. It really ruins all the atmosphere that's going on with jumping and shit. Everyone just stands at the edges hoping to not get hit by some fags boot. |
Turtlestlker
09.02.12 | Hope she recover, but moshing is different from hardcore dancing. Fuck those kids and FUCK crowd surfers. |
Aids
09.02.12 | moshpits are as good or bad as the people in them. if the show is full of idiots then the moshpit will be ghey. if it's full of good people just wanting to rock out and have a great time, then it will be fine and no one will do anything stupid. |
