Anyone know who he was or how he is now?

Because that was one hell of a hit to the head he took.

This fella manged at get his hands on what i assume was a empty bin. Then basically went down the hill then hitting a jut the barrel flung in the air slightly at this point the guys head came out of the barrel then it just smacked on the ground i mean a real bone crunching sound, easily a KO shot. Then he continued bouncing about 3 or 4 more times and was just a mess at the bottom. He bloody is lucky just to have a broken nose and jaw.

Yeah he was out cold for like 20minutes or something, then they took him to casualty

Did you hear about the girl who got 2nd degree burns from some prick putting a canister on a fire? Apparently it blew plastic all over her and it was just melting to her

[**shandy**]

i think i saw some other guy do this then, must have started it off cuz he came out fine... did this person go in with a sleeping bag and was there some dude in a floresent yellow jacket at the top of the hill

Ouch, not good. Stupid ..... that put stuff like that on fires. Theres just no need to do it.  

I was told this girl during the Dizzee Rascal set was whacked with a full beer can in the face and knocked out cold, blood all over her face etc. Just no needed at the Festival.

Yeah a couple people did it before, but they got their arms out to protect their heads and they jolted of sideways anyway. The fella who got KO'd had a tin pan on his head, got knocked off half way down.

My friend ran over as soon as it happened and he said that too. He then some girl in the crowd was trying to pull it back out, not sure how much of that is true...

[sjp_121]

I heard someone was in their tent and it set alight by people, and someone got their arm burned.

But it wasn't as bad as that...

Its stuff like that which paints the horror stories of festivals... you really don't need to be a dick head.

Reading stuff like this makes me think I might not go back, just days after an awesome festival. I appreciate the chances of these things happening are fairly slim, but if something happened to me or even worse my girlfriend  it'd be disastrous.

I agree, but I wouldn't let the f**kers ruin it for me.

My friend had 3 stiches from a flying can at Reading during Limp Bizkit.

[**shandy**]

i was next to some guys who were burning there tent, it was harmless at first they were just throwing silly things like food but then one proceeded to put a lynx can in the tent!! just stupid. they also put full cans of beer in there which is just pointless, at least give them away!

I camped in red (at Leeds) and it was the worst camping experience I've had yet. Camped next to some Lancashire chavs who just wanted to set fire to canisters whilst looking at me and my mates and saying 'who gives a f**k if they get burnt?'. Couldn't sleep a wink for fear of something happening to my tent (because it was borrowed and I wanted it back in one piece) and was just sick of people f**king around instead of chilling out drinking and talking or just going off for a dance or summet. The ones who only buy tickets to kick off are the scum that are starting to ruin the fest for hundreds of others, myself included.

It's similar in the arena. Stuff like chucking beer cans/full bottles/cups of piss is annoying at least and dangerous at most. I'm not some health and safety freak but alot of the stuff that goes bad is just due to people lacking common sense and people being d!ckheads.

I've firmly decided if I can afford to go next year (I'm starting uni so I might be skint), I'm camping in the quiet campsite. Little furthur to walk, but far less hassle and a much more relaxed camping experience. Sorted.

One of my, well i call him a "friend" went abit crazy during the sunday. Just don't understand why? Luckily for us he spent most of Sunday in Yellow camp and came back just to burn his tent. (Before anyone has a go again, the other 18 of us were not involved.)

The number of times i heard "Who are The Libertines/Arcade Fire/QOTSA?" etc. Just people who go to get drunk and pick fights and cause trouble. We went into the Dance Tent to watch Magnetic Man as their was no chance of us watching Paramore. And the number of people who were in there for one reason, just looking for a fight was unbelievable. Won't be going in their next year.

It'll take something special for me to spend a night on the Sunday at Leeds Festival.

Why didn't you all just kick the shit out of him? Setting fire to anything wether it be someone elses or your own stuff is just plain dickish.
