Be aware of your surroundings
One of the most important aspects of staying safe in a large crowd is to remain vigilant at all times. Be aware of unusual behaviours, unattended objects, unexplained odours, or vehicles travelling at abnormal speeds or patterns, and don’t be afraid to report what you see.
As much as we all like to watch an event close to the stage, the back is likely to be less crowded and safer. But if you really want to be closer to the front, try to avoid being at the very front of the stage near the security railings. If the crowd becomes too large and closely packed, people at the front are likely to be injured, making it harder to exit.
Watch out for the warning signs that a crowd is becoming dangerously dense. If you’re getting pushed against those around you, that is most likely a sign that the event is becoming unsafe.
