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.
