Specialty Definition: Crowd surfing

Crowd surfing describes the process whereby a person jumps off a relatively high place at a concert or party, such as a stage or a balcony, and the people below that person, perhaps in a mosh pit, catch that person, passing them from person to person, transferring them from one part of the concert venue to another, above everyones heads, with everyone's hands supporting the person's weight. Naturally, it is a good idea to wear soft shoes such as trainers, when attempting these maneouvers so that no injuries occur.
