Is it a good idea to go into a mosh pit at your first show?

Question

I'm going to Taste Of Chaos in a few weeks. It'll be my first show. For some reason I think that the pits would be less violent at such a big venue, but I really have no clue. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to go into the mosh pit. I'm a girl, about 5'3', and I'm not really all that strong. Would it really be so dangerous that I could seriously hurt myself?

Answer 1

Ahh, i hate you. i wanted to go soo bad.
but yea, the moshing at a big show like that will be rough.
yes, guys will try to grab your boobs && a*s. you get used to it. but guys wont usually punch you.
&& im 5"5'-5"6' && skinny. dont worry about it, just have a good time with it kiddo. you'll kno if youre not ready when youre watching em, but its the best adrenaline rush ever.

Answer 2

Well to tell you the truth the whole point of a mosh is not to kill the other person and it is not even to hurt them it is to just dance around like you dont care..(people to get hurt) Being that you are a smaller girl i would jump in. You have to remember that guys will be less likely to pummel some girl. And if you do get hurt someone will help you up. Just remember that when you jump in a mosh it is almost a free for all for a guy to grab you in undesirable places. If this is not for you i would not recommend it. But the best thing to do is just use your common sense. And ROCK ON

I've been to extremely violent mosh pits before with my girlfirend, and she can hold her own. But then again, she beats people up daily and fighting is being violent towards people is kind of our thing. If you've never been to a mosh pit before, I think you should beware. If you're not strong, you'll just be crushed and trampled. Guys won't fight you, but they'll probably try to r*pe you, grab your a*s, ask you for a bl*w j*b, try to look at your boobs, generally try to impregnate you, and other girls will just kick your a*s. That's in a really bad one, I don't know about more mild ones, but that's what I've been to. I'm espcially violent at mosh pits, though I'm not gross like some other guys, I go for the violence, not for the girls. Sorry for the *s, but yahoo will edit it otherwise.

Answer 4

You can get seriously get hurt. The larger the venue the larger the mosh. I am 5'10 and 200 pounds and I still got knocked out by a crowd surfer. Not to mention getting pushed around by all the guys who thought it was cool to shove everyone.

Answer 5

depends on the crowd...a good crowd would watch out for you...should help you up if you fall, etc. cant expect much from people these days though. id say watch the pit first and see if its worth it...then, if the size of the venue permits, crowd surf to the front (be careful doing this tho! men are pigs!) and enjoy! ive been in many pits (im not that strong either) and i had a ton of fun! watch out for headbangers, spikes, and circle pits!

Answer 6

**** yeah get your skinny butt in there i was in my first pit at a sevendust concert when i was 15 loved it plus the guys dont go full force once they see your a chick but yes you are going to get gropped dond crowd surff unless you like your boobs grabed lol

Answer 7

Answer 8

I would be a cautious since there would be all those guys grabbing your butt and boobs as you pass bye. See some other female do it first and ask her how it went.

Answer 9

Yeah, and be careful about the guys there.
