- 1). Keep your head. It's easy, while trying to get to the injured person, to forget about protecting yourself and end up with an injury of your own. Remember, you can't help the person who is injured by getting hurt by trying to cross through the mosh pit too quickly.
- 2). Signal those who are moshing. This can be difficult, but try to shout loudly over the music, wave your arms, or simply point towards the person. It's easy for someone to get trampled in a mosh pit if they're injured and fall to the ground, but no one notices immediately. Therefore, it's crucial that you draw attention to the injured person as quickly as possible so that those in the mosh pit can take precautions to avoid them.
- 3). Try to flag down security. Any good concert venue will have a fair amount of security guards on staff, particularly at concerts during which mosh pits tend to form. If possible, signal to one of these security guards that you need help and they will provide assistance to you.
- 4). Get to the injured person. Once it's safe to do so, get to the injured person and have other people move away to give them space and to avoid them being trampled on by other concert attendees.
- 5). Assess the level of injury. Determine how badly the injured person is hurt and, from there, what course of action you feel will best assist that individual.
- 6). Get them out of the mosh pit. If it's safe to move the injured person, try to get them up and out of the mosh pit as quickly as possible. The longer they stay in the pit, the better the chance becomes that they'll receive further injuries.
