The link to the actual post about the injury at the team party isn't working for some reason. Here's a link the Community Bulletin that references it (I think):

I'm a bit hazy as to where it happened but I seem to remember it happening at Nationals but I could be wrong. Here's a post referencing an accident that apparently happened at Cleveland so I'm assuming that's what I'm thinking of:

To make a long story short, someone got dropped during the dancing portion of the team party. They had to go to the hospital and go into surgery. Because of this, FIRST felt there was too much of a liability involved (or so I've been told). Because of that, dancing was banned and the name was changed from Team Party to Team Social. There's actually a specific section of the Regional Planning Guide that gives an example of inappropriate behavior at the Team Social including dancing.
