But you'll be fine - I've never had any issues and I'm a tiny 5'2" chick! If it gets to intense I always just fall further back where moshing isn't as insane. That being said, I find people in my city are very friendly and responsible when it comes to moshing and crowds at concerts - people generally look out for each other.

true that. I remember a big day out ( a music festival here in oz and NZ) a few years ago, RATM where making their triumphant return to these shores, and I was deep in the mosh heavily drunk and pilling of my chops. Bout 3 songs in they played Bulls on Parade and we were tearing the place down, anyway the dude next to me must have been standing on my foot cause when I jumped my shoe didn't come with me, so here's me trying to go down and grab it while the crowd is heaving forward and sideways, everytime I made a swipe at it a group of hands would reach down and pull me up. I was trying to yell out my predicament but no-one could hear or comprehend me so I just left it thinking I'll get it when the crowd disperses. After the set I was drenched in sweat and battered and bruised but remember thinking what a great crowd to help me not knowing why I kept ducking down. I myself always look out for people the look like they're struggling. So after the show I was looking for my shoe as I had moved with the crowd a fair way from where I had originally been, there must have been hundreds of single shoes and thongs all over the place. I found 3 left black cons one stars but I needed a right shoe! Disheartened I just lobbed my lefty off into the mist thinking someone else may find it as a match for their lost dap.
