Oh well I get that. I'd be annoyed, too, if people went around whining about something like that being banned. It'd be like trying to ban sex. Maybe. Haha.
I saw P!nk a few nights ago and there were FIVE YEAR OLDS in the mosh. Granted, it wasn't a sweaty, dangerous mosh, but the ear damage that little girl has is irriversable because her mum didn't make her wear plugs. She started crying half way through because it's not the kind of environment for a child, and the mum made her stay. Luckily, there was a barrier between me and them. Ugh.
But yes. I think a lot of younger people go into these things thinking they're not all that dangerous and they're safe. Totally wrong in some cases, not all. I went to Manson once and people were bringing drugs and sharp objects into that all-ages mosh. It's not a safe environment for someone that doesn't know how to keep themselves safe.
A mosh pit.
