Crowd crush

Hey there kiddo, have you ever been to a concert or a festival where a lot of people gather in one place to have fun and dance together? It can be really exciting and enjoyable, but we have to be very careful because sometimes, there can be a large crowd that presses together so tightly that it becomes difficult to move or breathe. This is called a “crowd crush”.

Think of it like when too many people try to go through the same door at once. When people push forward at once and there isn't enough space for everyone, it creates a lot of pressure on the people in the front, and it can become very difficult for them to keep standing up. They might lose their balance and fall down, and if there are too many people around, they can get trampled and hurt.

Sometimes, people can get caught in the middle of a crowd crush without even realizing it. Many times, it can happen so quickly that people get pushed forward before they have a chance to understand what's going on. That’s why it’s really important to be aware of our surroundings and to pay attention to any changes in the crowd's movement or behavior.

So, always make sure to stay alert and listen to the instructions of any security personnel around you. If you feel uncomfortable or like you're not able to move, try to move towards the edge of the crowd, where it’s less crowded, and wait until things calm down. Remember, safety comes first, and it’s always better to be safe than sorry!
