My hardest concussion came from a dude coming out of nowhere with his head forward in a slayer pit. While I was in a dead sprint going against another dude that had agreed to do a run bump and was in a dead sprint with me. This other dude showed up and I took a temple shot from his forehead. My buddy said I stood up and didn't fall over but you could see I was knocked out. Wildest shit ever. I can actually understand the ban. In the days before hand. Doing a wall of death was legit damage to an unprepared individual. I knocked peoples ribs out of place defending myself with my forearms. I broke a buddies leg
Saw one of those a few years back, after some teenager got pulled out of a pit at a larger show with a visibly-broken leg. Shit can get hairy sometimes, but it's what we're there for, I def don't appreciate a blanket ruleset which aims to empower bouncers to kick out anyone for what's supposed to be considered par for the course at a metal show.
