Whip out your cock and spin it like a helicopter in the middle of the pit to establish your dominance

Not 'survival rules' but more general advice...

Don't wear a jacket with pins that are not like extremely well attached. You might lose a pin you love.

Make sure your phone/wallet etc be are deep within closed pockets. I've had friends lose phones in a pit at a festival. Believe me, the jumping and running people won't notice it. They will be kicked to somewhere in the chaos you won't find em. And even if you do? Your phone will have died.

Take your glasses off if you have those. Have a non moshing friend hold em. They could fall off and die.

Do you have a beanie/snapback/hat etc on? Take it off. I've seen people lose em.

I mean ofcourse people leave the pit with their snapbacks still on. But what's better? A chance of losing em or keeping em save with a friend somewhere. Or maybe a locker.

Although personally I hate lockers.

Never stand in a moshpit. You must move every moment I think!

andermatten on Mon, 20/02/2023 - 21:32

standing still every now and then is more fun

In the words of Randy Blythe

"If you don't know what's about to happen, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!"

Watch for how aggressive the pit is. If you feel shit is getting too out of hand, then bail out for a bit. No use in getting clocked for no good reason. Seen it happen before and it's never a good sight.

If the crowd suddenly begins to part in two, either pick a side, or see the quote from above.

If you have glasses, and you are going to a show by yourself, have a strong glasses case and cargo shorts/pants to put them in. Pad it with a shirt from merch table if you get one.

Don't blind push people while in or into the pit. I have had someone smack straight into my head at full speed because of that and I had to bail because I started seeing double. I have seen people get nearly trampled from being shoved in by assholes who thought it would be funny to do it to someone who didn't want to go in.

If someone falls, PICK THEM THE FUCK UP. If YOU fall, then either get up quick or signal for help up. We don't need anyone dying or getting kicked in a pit.

This should be a no-brainer, but don't grope anybody. That is a good and deservedly reason to get your ass beat and thrown out.

For crowdsurfing, read the crowd before you try to and be supportive of people who do. Don't drop them.

For stagediving, see crowdsurfing but catch them. Emphasis on READ THE CROWD.

Most importantly though?

Have fun in the pit, bang your head and be smart about it.
