At a concert I was at a girl and guy were moshing in the pit. They head butted by mistake, guy broke his nose, girl was knocked out. They stopped the pit, got the guy a path to infront of the stage and Crowd surfed the girls body to the barrier so security and emt could get her.
From what I have seen personally, you are more likely to get cared for by juggalos, screamo fans and emo kids then any rap or pop fans. Literally had a freind break a rib from getting pushed into a barrier at a MGK concert.
Thank you for what you do! I was in NJ at Adjacent Festival and got separated from my husband and daughter when I assisted a boyfriend in carrying his girlfriend who syncopized and wouldn't come to from the crowd. Her boyfriendwas screaming for help just to the left of my daughter in the midst of a sea of people. My daughter told him "My mom's an ICU nurse!" (I'm a cardiovascular ICU RN.) I told my husband to stay with my daughter. I cared for her to the best of my ability without equipment while he ran to get medical, and I did get her to roust with a tiny bottle of scented hand sanitizer in my pocket. Cell phone reception was so bad that I couldn't get a text or call through to my husband or daughter after the girl was safely transported to ED. They were panicked, and unfortunately I missed watching Blink182's set with them. Festival medical work is very difficult: lots of drugs, drinking, low blood sugars, assaults, and crowd surfing gone wrong! Thank you for your service to our communities, and your humor that keeps us all laughing ❤
Damn! That’s really intense! I never considered how much more difficult it must be to be working as an EMT at a festival or concert. I’m sure it’s crazy and hard enough just being local, but at events with huge crowds, it must be even more crazy.
I had a girl next to us blacked out completely at This Ain’t No Picnic. Fortunately we were right in front of the barricades. So with the help of other guys, we lifted her over the barricade for the security guys to get her. That’s why you gotta make sure that you’ve drank enough water and that you’re well hydrated and fed when you’re going to a festival.
I see that this is gov ball, New Yorkers hold it down and look out for each other. I was there last year, and when someone in the crowd needed EMT assistance the same thing happened.
A few weeks ago, my sister and I went to a concert and something happened to someone (not fully sure what happened) and the whole crowd opened up for people to get to her and get her back to a door and she was just laying there for a while. First time that I’ve ever seen something like that happen.
One time at grey day I helped probably 150 other people lift someone to the barricade. People are becoming vigilant as crowds become more packed and dangerous. Interesting stuff
Thanks for this video. As a fellow EMS instructor (you certainly are whether you are a classroom educator or not) I find your content funny peppered with legit info. This video was helpful to me. I also work events and, with your permission, I would like to use this clip to help train new event EMTs. I also respect your shift in demeanor for this bit of content. The varied demeanor that you deploy in your content represents the true-to-life affect of this trade. Also showcases your expertise in bedside manner. Well done, keep up the good work!
At warped tour in the falling in reverse crowd, someone dropped their phone. A small circle of the crowd parted and shined flashlights at the floor til we found it. That wasn’t even CLOSE to a medical emergency. I’ll always feel unity in a crowd at a concert.
Saw metallica yesterday, some girl was so dehydrated she passed out in the middle of the crowd. Some people literally refused to move when some tried to carry her out. It was insane, but she made it out safe and got water and food. She's all good now^
It’s amazing the goodness most people have in them. I don’t really enjoy Luke Bryan’s music but he hit the nail on the head with, “I believe most people are good.”
I’ve seen some crazy shit at music festivals. I had to break one of the number one rules of a head injury which is don’t move the person because he was literally going to get trampled in a mosh if someone didn’t move him. Luckily he was fine but it’s crazy what can happen. I’ve also had to help pass a girl over the barrier to medical too because she was about to pass out.
Every time I’m at a metal show and someone in the pit goes down, everyone starts flashing their phone flashlights at the band and they have always stopped the show for paramedics to get through. It’s awesome
Please excuse me for this but: this is one of the most attractive men ive ever seen and the way he speaks/explains and his voice are all just like top notch. 1000/1000 would love to take an emt class/course from this man lol
A lot of concerts I’ve been to where someone’s passed out, the crowd has always parted like this, and even in one case the artist insisted more water get distributed in the crowd after the incident. It’s good to know that’s not always the case and to look out for fellow fans in a crowd
People are genuinely compassionate. Without having to compromise themselves just to make ends meet, they'll have the freedom to be altruistic.
The problem is there are people that no matter how much they have, what they're after it the ability to make other people do things they don't want to do. Money and things come as a result of such a lack of compassion, but money and things weren't the goal.
The good people need to be protected from these predators, because they don't believe the predators exist.
Reminds me of that Travis Scott concert where TEN PEOPLE DIED and he knew and did nothing but keep performing, even his security ignored cries for help.
One time at a Set It Off concert there was a mosh pit and some people dropped their shit and it all got passed up to the front. A wallet, set of keys, a bag, a scarf, and a phone all belonging to different people made it back to their owners because Cody held them up for people while he was still singing. I believe the owner of the bag got carried to the front too lol.
People are becoming more mindful of medical emergencies in public ever since the mandates rolled out. God bless!

Man people can be straight up awesome! ❤
Do they make sirens if you need to go thru a crowd? Like a police siren or ambulance siren or a fire siren
Being in that crowd looks absolutely miserable
I don’t go to concerts myself but I at least see the appeal of them, I’ll never understand music festivals.
Awesome
Do you find it’s easier or more difficult to work now that you’re social media famous?
Damn! That’s really intense! I never considered how much more difficult it must be to be working as an EMT at a festival or concert. I’m sure it’s crazy and hard enough just being local, but at events with huge crowds, it must be even more crazy.
It's weird seeing you out of character.
This is what I do for work! Event EMS. Would love to see this become a series, always looking for extra training opportunities

My man. I love seeing young people excel.
Society doesnt give young folks a chance at all these days.
You should champion any youngster putting in the work.
Yo what event did you work? I worked Rockville this year as an EMT.
Meanwhile Germany has a Law that makes it mandatory to create space for emergency services. Fail to yield and you're facing 6 months minimum.
The rave community is lucky to have you thank you for keeping us safe

Bless your heart for the wonderful work that you do! Please keep it up, you're a hero, nothing less!:)
get an airhorn if people do not let you through

Sir you are a real hero
The girls stink face from the crowd??? What the hell is wrong with this world it’s deplorable!!

Summer smash
Check out the majority of who’s holding the tunnel
It’s young women and girls
I’d love to know who they were waiting to see
Queer and femme crowds are some of the most supportive groups
Also looks like it was early in the day which helps too as people are more alert and focused before all the drugs kick in lol
Normalize crowd surfing to the medics.
Drugs plus crowds not good
Imagine the greater number of people behind those holding the line that have no idea what’s happening
Definitely want more of this behind thr scenes kinda content
Please excuse me for this but: this is one of the most attractive men ive ever seen and the way he speaks/explains and his voice are all just like top notch. 1000/1000 would love to take an emt class/course from this man lol
Is this at forest?

What a nightmare. Maybe humanity still stands a chance.

Yoo massive props for everything you do!

Now this is good concert etiquette!
