HOUSTON – Concertgoer Angel Rodriguez described the moment the deadly stampede and mosh pit started during the Astroworld Festival on Friday, Nov. 5.
“It was just so hard to breathe. We were packed like sardines,” said Rodriguez.
Nafeh Saemdahr said to prevent being trampled and squished, he went against the grain.
“The minute Travis started performing, it’s like people stopped seeing in front of them. They were running, they were going crazy and pushing and everything. So, I thought smart. I said I don’t want to be in front where all of the danger is, I just stayed in the back,” Saemdahr said.
Most people who attend concerts and festivals don’t plan to be entangled in a mosh pit or a stampede, but if you happen to find yourself in a crowd of chaos, injury experts say there are some ways to help protect yourself.
