per 10.0O0 versus 7.6 per 10,000 at the non-mosh pit events (P<.05). At the mosh pit events, there was a rate of 18.5 of 10,00O [or injuries directly related to moshing activity. There was a higher rate of patients needing hospital transport at the mush pit events with a total transport rate at these events of 1.5 of 10,000 versus 0 2 per 10.000 for the non-mosh pit events (P<.05). The transport rate for patients injured in the mosh pit was 1.2 per 10,000. Of the injuries at the mosh pit events, 37% ,.,,'ere lacerations and musculoskeletal mechanisms versus 28.3% at the non-mosh pit events (P<.OS). Average temperature at the mosh pit events ,,,,-as 77.2 ~ F, whereas the average temperature at non-mosh pit events was 81.2~ Conclusion: Mass gatherings where mosh pits are present tend to ha`.'e an increase in medical incidents and injuries. There is also an increase in the number of patients requiring hospital transport. The increase in these injuries tend ro be lacerations and musculoskeletal in nature These increases can possibly o`.'erburden medical personnel responsible for these events if not properly prepared. Future event planning should take precautionary, or even restrictive
