15 Tricks to surviving in a crowd if you're short!
Tips for surviving in a crowd if youâre short
If youâre short listen up! Being my grand height of 5â1 iâve got a few tricks for you to have the best concert experience you can! You can get pretty thrown around and come home with some battle wounds, but knowing some little tricks can help you make it out unscathed!
1. Itâs impossible to see through people, so GET THERE EARLY, and get yourself as close to the front as possible.
2. Be ready for âThe Waveâ! It will come, brace yourself as much as you can, once you lose your footing youâre fair game..
3. When you hear âCROWD SURFERâ Duck! When you see security getting ready to pull them down, unless you are way over 5â8 just cover your head, do NOT try and push them forward, everyone else will do that for you. Getting kicked in the head hurts like hell and sometimes results in security hauling you out of the crowd.
4. If security tries to lift you out donât fight it! They probably just saw you take a kick to the head from a crowd surfer, and know you more then likely have a concussion.
5. If you lose the person you went with, donât waste time worrying, or trying to find them, youâre too short to see them, you have cell phones you can find them after the show.
6. Donât apologise every time you bump into someone. Are people apologising to you? besides they canât hear you anyway.
7. Use your elbows to move through crowds! When youâre short your elbows are perfect rib height for most people! Use them, and make it to the front alot faster.
8. Play the sweet & innocent âIâm short and canât seeâ card, it just might work to get tall people to let you infront of them.
9. Look UP! It gets super stuffy and disgustingly sweaty and when youâre getting squished breathing becomes an issue, look up, youâll get a nice gulp of fresh air.
10. Donât start talking shit. If you canât defend yourself, because people will throw punches no matter how small you are.
11. Be prepared to come home with battle wounds! You will get shoved, hit, kicked, and stepped on, expect some sore-ness and bruises the following morning.
12. Donât take peoples shit because youâre little. Theyâll try and throw you around; stand your ground and use your voice we may be little, but we will be heard.
13. Security are friends not enemies, they are there for your safety so donât piss them off. Yeah theyâre in some of your photos but theyâre there to help.
14. Hair doesnât matter! Ladies dont spend forever doing your hair, throw it up in pony tail or messy bun, itâs off your neck and you can redo it easily. If itâs down it will get caught on other peoples hands, especially if they have rings or bracelets.
15. Have a great fucking time.
