Oh Physics, mosh pits aren't particles.

So some guys decided to do an analysis of mosh pit mechanics and ended up getting it published in the "Physical Review Letters" journal. Crazy. I remember they actually uploaded some software using the math for this, so you could actually make your own moshpits.

Also are all my blogs on metal? I suppose it differentiates me from all the gaming ones.

    I think I'm going to create a metal act and call it Maxwell's Devils. Or maybe Brownian Motion.

    Ah, moshpits, good memories. I remember almost suffocating after three guys fell on me because I was in the front row of a wall of death as a lanky 15 year old.

    http://mattbierbaum.github.io/moshpits.js/ that's a site where they have a mosh pit simulator based on the maths they used for that study.

    I was actually in the biggest circle pit of all time back when I was 16(or at least it was at the time, Devildriver Download 2007). You can sort of see me in the videos of it. Good times. And Buster, ouch, that's not nice.

    I've actually yet to lose a shoe at a gig. I did find a set of high heels though, then some big hairy bloke came up to me and said "oh ye found me shoes, darling. Thanks." and took them off of me. 2nd most traumatising thing to happen to me at a gig.

    I lose em all the time because people love to step on sneakers, I guess it's really comfy. Though sneakers are basically indestructible so its no big deal finding them afterwards. A bit dirtier though, really uncomfortable at festivals.

    ...what was the #1?

    A big hairy bloke in drag grabbing my bum and asking me if I wanted a good time. I was 16 and terrified. Damn you Download, so much fun but so traumatising.

    Hahahaha

    Worst I heard was this:
    Friend of mine saw like a group of dudes waited for their friend to get in a mobile toilet. Then they tilted it over until it fell. On the door. (No wonder most of those are chained down lol)

    That's horrible(and hilarious). I remember seeing some guys put a bucket on their mates head and then tie him to a deckchair using some tent pegs. Festivals are fun.

    I saw a guy get stuffed in an oil barrel and set on fire.
