Uncontrollable Situtations
In some minor and major events, we sometimes not noticed that the people around us are in control. Just like in concerts, and political events. In these uncontrollable situations, we need barricades and sometimes if situations are so critical we need velvet rope. These things comes to my attention, because as what I have noticed. When I go for gigs and other rock events (such as the NU Rock Awards, etc.), people are not controllable anymore. The event organizers have to anticipate worse cases so that they have a fall back plan. They should have this so called Crowd control or Stanchions. If you’re not familiar yet with the term, you may search that in Google or Yahoo. Lots of info about Stanchions can be found there.
If you’re in this kind of uncontrollable situations, you better get ready. Make sure that all your stuffs are handy and intact. And before getting into an event, make sure that you look for safety measures. Readiness is the cure. And also for the event coordinators, please ensure the safety of the people. You must know how to control the crowd because you might not know. Unexpected cases will arise. So the more ready you are, the more you can enjoy the event.
