Never deliberately but I have strayed to close to a boundary and been pulled in.

Top and bottom molar all the way in the back on my right side were shattered at a Death Before Dishonor show last week
Edit- A buddy of mine had to have reconstructive surgery after going to see the same tour several nights later |

Quoted:
I bring this up because of the thread for Diamond Darrel. I brought my GF to a Pantera concert years ago and I said hold onto my beer. I've never experienced a human maelstrom like that. My nose was bleeding my teeth hurt my chest hurt, everything hurt. But the music made it all worthwhile I've never had a more anamilstic experience In my life. God bless the mosh pit, a place where we can throw down without laws. And we all smile at each other. About 8 times a year until my joints weren't having any more of it
Old rivetheads don't die. We just stand in the back and drink beer

Wish I'd been old enough to go see a live Pantera show!
I've been in tons of mosh pits. The hardcore fags have kind of ruined them though.

I was never "good" at moshing or really one of the "cool" hardcore guys but I have been in a few mosh pits before and it's pretty fun.
Also, stage-diving, and the post dive crowd surfing is pretty fun as well!
Mosh pits can be pretty entertaining, especially when cripples start to whip their walkers around hitting people in the balls. I will never forget that moment!

I got hit so fucking hard in a mosh pit I lost a contact and got a concussion.
I also saw some idiot get slammed so hard his CCW pistol fell out (retention fail) and people were falling over each other to get away like it was gonna go off on its own on the ground.

Funny story:
I went to the Black Dahlia Murder, All That Remains, Machine Head, Dethklok concert a couple years ago. This drunk dude wanted to body surf, so he asked me to give him a boost. I boosted him up, hands together to lift his foot as he stepped on, and hoisted him towards the crowd. Do you remember the scene in Black Sheep where Chris Farley stage dives and everyone moves out of the way? That's pretty much exactly what happened to this dude. |

Not on purpose, got too close and got sucked in at a Pantera concert. Thrown into the huge skinhead, picked up and tossed like a rag doll. Landed on some chick that liked to kick dudes in the face apparently.
Good times.

It's been a while, but yeah sure.
Usually there's at least one guy that's throwing elbows or whatever taking pot shots trying to really hurt people, that's lame. I exit that shit real quick. But, other times there's at least 2 people lifting you up as soon as you start to fall over, those are pretty rad |

I was a regular at Ozzfest for several years. Lot's of mosh pitting.
Been in some nasty moshes. Saw quite a few get way out of control, like taking guys out on backboards out of control. Too old for that craziness now, still love the music though. ETA: Kinda funny story. Ozzfest 99. Big, fat, shirtless, drunk, guy throwing punches in the pit, punches a woman. My buddy, a just out of boot Marine, hands me his beer. Then he charges the guy and spears him, dude flipped head over heels, one of his shoes flew off and landed way down in the seating section from the lawn. Drunk fattie in a heap and unconscious. Crowd cheers. |

The only mosh pit I've ever been in was rather civilized compared to what you people are describing. You hit the floor, and there were were immediately five people grabbing you and hauling you back to your feet (and a couple of feet in the air.) Lather, rinse, repeat.
KMFDM, 20th anniversary tour. My ears were totally buggered

Warped Tour 2004 in Fullerton, CA... When Bad Religion came on their crowd was so large it went past some of the other stages. There were multiple mosh pits and I ended up with a bloody nose, kicked some girl in face, punched a few people, lost a shoe (it ended up on stage), and the time of my life.

Been in a bunch of pits back in my younger years. Best ever though was Lamb of God, probably 10 years ago...wall of death. OMFG insanity.

About 15 years ago I made the mistake of taking a GF to a Megadeth concert. She didn't know how to dress for it, and insisted she would be fine as-is. She's wearing flat shoes and lots of cheap, fragile jewelry.
Megadeth hits the stage, so we're heading up front. Her ankle-charm bracelet got stomped off her ankle three songs into the set, and she expects me to go find it. So I'm squatting down to find this fucking thing, and suddenly I'm not getting crushed and kicked. The pit has shifted and I am now the inner-most portion of the barrier wall. About that time two things happened. First, a skinhead stops to make sure I'm ok, and actually helps me look for it. Second, I find the damn thing within a few seconds and gave the man my thanks. In hindsight, I would have been much better off tossing her in for a spin-cycle during Wake Up Dead. ETA: Best pit I ever saw was during Slayer's set on the Clash of The Titans tour. The arena facility had put out folding chairs for the floor seats that were not anchored down. The chairs ended up in a mangled pile by the sound booth, and the pit at times stretched from the stage to that pile of chairs. Smaller pits were forming around the concession areas. |
