There’s few things more fun to do a music festival than mosh, but if we had to name something, it’s participating in a wall of death, which is sort of like a mosh pit crossed with the battle scene from the last Lord of the Rings movie.

But as we’ve previously mentioned, there are certain rules to participating in a wall of death, a certain etiquette, if you will. The golden rule is to take care of yourself and those around you and make sure you help anyone who needs it.

The second rule is directly related to the first and that’s to always make sure you’re aware of your surroundings. Obviously, this is difficult when you’re in a sea of blurry body parts all kicking up a wave of dust, but it’s really important.

Case in point, as you can see in the video below, this poor punter at a recent Creamfields event in the UK was unwittingly swallowed up by a wall of death. We have only two thoughts: we really hope she’s okay and since when do EDM events have walls of death?
