There wasn't a pit during the Linkin Park part of it. That was fire up a joint time. However, POD and Story of the Year both had a pit. I was up in the seated section for part of it, and saw the floor: two circles had opened up for flailing retards. At the POD show I went to see, POD and Blindside both told people to stop dropping surfers.
These people are fucking it up because "pits" are fairly new to mainstream music. Most kids have seen the "100 Greatest Pit Mishaps" or some other kind of VH1 misconceptual documentaries of punk music and think that that's how all pits are supposed to be. They think it is just natural that people get badly injured in pits, when in reality, there are unwritten rules to follow in the pit. It should seem odd to oneself a bit when you first see it in person, but as you observe it, you will definately see that a majority of people are acting a certain way, and when you know how to do it correctly, then you can jump in. Brass knuckles and sap gloves are unneccessary and stupid. Pits are aggressive, but shouldn't be harmful, but I guess nobody sees that line anymore.
