Stampedes are quite common during concert events. A packed stadium, thousands of hyperactive and excited fans, and the amped-up feeling of being in a major happening all contribute to one very dangerous mix. To be able to save yourself from any serious harm in case a stampede occurs, here are some tips:

Ø       Be aware of the exits before the concert even starts.

Ø       Do not try to go against the flow of stampeding people; you might get crushed underfoot.

Ø       Don’t go back for any items you might have left, wait until it’s already safe to go back in.

Ø       If the current of rushing people is too strong, try to stay on one side of the venue in order not to be the victim of any untoward accidents.

Ø       Never ever panic. Stay calm and calmly assess the situation before going any further.
