Call me sadistic, but my favorite part of skate videos are the bail sections. Don’t get me wrong — I don’t take pleasure in other people getting hurt. I do take pleasure, however, in the Darwinian ways in which they do so. Stage diving is one such method. YouTube reveals that all forms of popular music, from rock to hip-hop to techno, are not immune to this practice. Below are six of my favorite stage diving disasters. I saved the best for last.

What kind of moron stage-dives at an open-air festival where there's two meters of space between stage and audience, and cruel, upright metal bars punctuating failure?
Also the Everclear video was really funny.
Generally, as the guy that goes to the first row at live shows he's excited about, I'd prefer it if stage-diving didn't exist at all. If you've had bullet-belts ground in your face a few times you'd agree with me.
I was recently at a show where some useless piece of gash thought it would be a good idea to crowd surf multiple times while wearing high heels. The youth keep getting dumber and dumber.
Maybe that last one wasn't a stage dive at all & was just the part in his set where he throws his body against the crowd-barrier then tries in vain to climb back onstage. That's what it looked like, at least….
Axl wanted me to say hi…

Well, hello there, and thanks for stopping by!
and those are the very reasons unsane's "scrape" is a classic video to this day. idiots hurting themselves doing stupid shit never gets old.
Was that 2nd video at a Montgomery/Gentry show? Since when did country have stage dives???
Path – That's why everyone got out of the way.
