- Jim Morrison and Iggy Pop were reportedly among the first rock stars to stage-dive into the crowd, inspiring a wider concert trend.
- Most nightclubs now prohibit the practice because it has caused numerous injuries and deaths.
- The piece warns against assuming strangers will provide a safe landing.
Jim Morrison and Iggy Pop were reportedly the first rock stars to throw themselves from the stage into the audience. Soon, anyone who managed to get onto a stage was hurling themselves into the party crowd.
That kind of stage diving is now strictly banned in most nightclubs. Too many people were injured, and some incidents even ended in death.
Trusting strangers was not enough. It was a mistake to assume they would do exactly what you expected, raise their hands, and arrange a soft landing.
