Concert Injuries

When attending a concert or public event, you should not have to be concerned with questions of safety. It is the legal responsibility of promoters, security firms, and performers to take all precautions and safeguards to insure a safe secure environment for everyone onstage and in attendance. Impending weather, crowd behavior, environmental factors, and many other factors must all be taken into consideration to establish a safe environment. All too often though, concert planners are more concerned with profit than safety which often leads to a variety of concert injuries or even deaths. It is inexcusable for concerts to proceed without proper safety preparations.

There are several factors that should be examined when preparing for a concert or public event. Professional risk managers apply the FIST Principle for the management of any public space.

FIST is an acronym for Force, Information, Space and Time. The purpose of the FIST Principle is that to properly asses an event, the following factors must be considered:

  • Force: An estimation of pressure loads created by the dynamic movements of a crowd. Too much force can create dangerous pressure on the human body
  • Information: Factors that affect mob perceptions: signs, announcements, staff training, and ticket systems.
  • Space: The venue must have enough space and be adequate for the event. Factors such as Venue Capacity, Venue Configuration, Traffic Flow, and Maximum Occupancies must be considered.   
  • Time: The duration of crowding that can be expected during the longer period of ingress compared to post performance egress.

It is the responsibility of concert planners to consider the above factors and it is also important for concert planners to understand that the vast majority of patrons do not understand these factors.
