I got two broken ribs at a metal concert once from involuntary crowd surfing. After that I was well wary of trying to get anywhere near the front of a standing gig. Seating now does seem like a pleasure!

Ah, don't be so pussy now @meesterboom. That only surfing through the crowd is where human warmth is truly found. ¿What are two or three broken ribs at this point in the game? };)
Haha, ah yes. It was a small price to pay!! 😀😀
A small price to pay sounds about right and I would probably agree with you... if it hadn't been for the fact that @slobberchops surprised me a bit with his musical selections in this post. Since I always believed and I had the impression that our good friend was also another ol'fart from our same generation.
Ole slobs is a man unchained by convention!! And younger than The Zimmers!
LOL, what does that mean? Did they lift you up and make you do it!
How was crowd surfing, before the part where they part and you fall to ground breaking bones?
HAha, that is exactly what happened. With a crowd of folk and a guy from work I knew only slightly gave me an evil grin halfway through and grabbed my thigh and just hoiked me up in the air. Next thing I knew I was being carried all the way from mid crowd to the front. It was weird and a bit exhilarating, then the bouncers at the front pulled me off the crowd and into the gap but in the process I kinda dropped on to the metal barrier. Felt a bit sore, thought nothing of it till the middle of the night when I woke up and couldn't breathe with the pain.
A lesson learned!
I have seen this often. Is this a way to get yourself kicked out of the gig, or did they let you stay with a harsh warning?!
They just gave me a warning, like keep that ujp and you are out. I was like, I didn't even want to do it, I was thrown up!
I didn't even realise that people could or would do that to someone
Two chances before they kick you out, very gracious of them!
You know bouncers, the kindest folk on earth! :OD
