The physics of mosh pits

Those black dots, which are trying desperately to get OUT of the mosh pit so that they can watch the damn concert but keep being shoved back in? That's me. At every.single.show.

I've seen this many a time. The trick is to come to a stop at the edge, and then walk out. If you are moving any kind of speed, folks on the edge will just assume you are disoriented and give you that "helpful" shove back into the mix.

I hear you. They should also model the annoyance of the black dots that seem to be the barrier between the moshers and everyone else. Those poor human fences constantly get smacks at full force from the red dots on one side, and annoyed looks from the black dots as they (unwillingly) convert the high impact into a low frequency push forward.

Guess where I always end up at shows?
