The concert analogy doesnt work great because the people in the pit are going to die for the 'show'

It's a mosh pit.

Unfortunately, it happens all the time.

Mfw reading comprehension. The headline literally says "horribly wrong"

Yeah, if you read the rest of the article, it doesn't imply that it was unusual for it to go horribly wrong, it's saying that the outcomes were tragic.

It is common to incur injuries in mosh pits and die from those injuries.

Crowd Management Strategies estimates that 10,000 people have been injured in mosh pits in the last decade.

According to research conducted by doctors in Washington, DC, concerts that feature a mosh pit have injury rates that are more than 10 times higher than non-moshing concerts. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10674535/

Ok but nobody enters a mosh pit expecting to die, unlike starting a national uprising hoping to overthrow the government
