Well it happened at this concert as well. A student was dropped (crowd surfing) on a female mentor of a team that is a really good friend of ours. She was pretty badly hurt. I saw her in the hallway in our hotel later, and she had to be helped by 2 students just to get to her room. I understand the excitement of the concert, but there should have been some additional safety measures there to prevent this from happening at all.
